<strong>Excerpt - </strong>“Also new from Hidden Shoal is Somewhere Someone Else by Wes Willenbring. Of the three HSR albums reviewed here this is the most landscaped in an ambient sense and also the most sombre. He uses ringing drones and hovering strings to good effect on “Lost Illusions” and “As You Fade Away”, over which he sprinkles some lovely electric guitar figures. The overall picture is a fairly monochrome one, with some lonely piano poking through the gloom on “Aperture” and “In A Quiet Dark Room”. As the album’s title suggests there is an overall sense of alienation and loss in these instrumentals, even death on “While My Lungs Fill With Water”. Intelligent music, unquestionably dark, and not for the easily distracted.”
