ELEPHANT ISLAND by Adam Schabtach (2002)

There is an eye-catching cover photo of the bleak ice-coated island of Shackleton’s legendary 1914-16 Endurance Expedition, taken by a retired Rear Admiral of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.  The musical content comprises a single 66-minute synthesizer piece composed and recorded in a continuous improvisation.  It’s pretty much just a long drawn out monotonic ambient dirge - not an awful lot going on there, which in its way may well be echoing the survival routine of much of the Expedition.  ATOM CD 17; www.atomiccity.com
