Title:
Gravitational IV
Label:
EQUATION RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
E=MC 012LP
"450 copies only.180 gram virgin vinyl LP in a heavy 350 gram gatefold sleeve. Up until now,
Gravitational IV
has been known as Landing's 'lost' album. Mostly recorded during the sessions that led to 2004's
Sphere
(K Records),
Gravitational IV
is a varied and multi-textured album. Sound experiments, free flowing drone freakouts, and softly lilting lullabies make up what may be the most accomplished and interesting release of Landing's 8-year career. This is music to stay indoors with. This is vessyl music."

Title:
Oceanless
Label:
STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
SAAH 003CD
"Landing is a truly vibrant, celestial-minded quartet of sound painters from Connecticut (via-Utah!).
Oceanless
, their simply amazing second full length CD, is a dense canvas capturing graceful instrumental brushstrokes, lush audio pigments, and vivid surrealist portraits. Featuring six compositions and clocking in at over 63 minutes,
Oceanless
is absolutely the most dazzling prizm of sound Landing has produced thus far. Inebriating and intricately textured, the plodding mallet driven rhythms, keyboard oscillations, wavering guitar afterburn and distant reverb-drenched vocals could be likened to a
Prazison
LP-era Labradfard that has melted all over the easel."

Title:
Fade In/Fade Out
Label:
STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE
Format:
CD
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
SAAH 008CD
"Stretching 5 songs over 37 minutes,
Fade In/Fade Out
encapsulates all points possible along Landing's glistening trajectory of beauty. Bridging their droned-immaculate works (
Oceanless
) and concise tunesmith shimmer (
Seasons, Circuit
) with mystifying exactitude, tha scope of the EP is immense, complex and composed... astonishing, when you learn that the music on
Fade In/Fade Out
was completely improvised on the spot!"

Title:
Brocade
Label:
STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
SAAH 037CD
"Their seventh full length album in seven years,
Brocade
is a turning point for Landing, one that simultaneously harkens back to their roots as hushed drone rockers while journeying onwards into starkly minimalist, utterly cosmic terrain. Reverting inward after some of their sunny travels into headspace,
Brocade
touches on early Krautrock rhythms while delving into traditional psychedelic ambient music. Barring a few instrumental overdubs,
Brocade
was performed live in the studio, resulting in an airy sort of freedom not felt since the gauzy bliss-out improvisation captured on
Fade In/Fade Out
or moments from their second album
Oceanless
. In every manifestation, it is a tour-de-force of minimalism, utilizing repeating patters that slowly and steadily develop shape as they float in and out of a barbiturate fog. In the early moments of the album, as fireballs of feedback and effects unfurl into the exquisitely Faust-like drum and bass repetitions of opener 'Loft,' it would seem that rock and roll would prevail even as the tune winds through increasingly lush terrain, swelling in size as more instrumental streams enter the flow. Placid waters emerge, however, as the drums drop out and
Brocade
turns into a study in atmospherics with the swelling pulse-and-drone of 'Yon' and the shimmering, wispy ripples of 'Spiral Arms.' After the hazy overdrive of 'How to Be Clear,' Landing immerse themselves in sparse ambience as conjured by Eno's
On Land
or Harold Budd's glistening works, floating away with the aptly-named closer 'Music For Three Synthesizer.' With five compositions stretching out to form 54 minutes of music,
Brocade
is an elegiac lament for Landing's past, and an introspective yearning towards a glistening new phase in their career."
