Reviews

Rave Magazine
"Hydatid is the musical guise of Brisbane sound artist David Loose. His electronic manipulations of field recordings coalesce beautifully in these twelve ambient, strangely moving tracks. Hellas Planitia, for instance, is a multi-layered piece of shimmering electronic textures, deliberate digital distortion and a wobbly undercarriage of wonky beats, while the rushing water sounds and hypnotic drones of See Earth's Reflection are powerfully trance-inducing. While Loose sometimes presents a more abrasive soundscape, such as the scratchy beats and off-kilter layers of Negative Space, on the whole this is soothing but wildly inventive electronic music to bliss out to." - Brett Collingwood

Time Off
As Hydatid, David Loose creates an intoxicating blend of hypnotic rhythms, dream-like arrangements and splintered melody. This, his debut long-player, follows a stream of well produced demo CDs each of which carried the promise of a powerful debut and Loose keeps good on his word with a seriously well rounded listening experience. 'Waiting Weightless' drifts eerily, its intentions clouded as warm vocals are abstracted into a glowing texture, while a synth sizzles back and forth across what seems like a broken-breakbeat.
'Awash With Even' continues this feeling of unsettling calm, with the rhythm this time taking on slightly more weighty qualities, helped along by some delayed melodies lines and a gentle push of bass. From start to finish this album carries an unusually attractive tonal quality to it - spacious and welcoming, it hides a darker underbelly. - Lawrence English
