Seconds in Formaldehyde is the captivating and quite appropriate alias of German guitarist Martin Fuhs, also runner of the Waterscape label. "II" was released some time ago by Gears of Sand, and once again, as noted regarding Moljebka Pvlse, this makes perfect sense - SiF being a guitar-based drone project, much like most of Ben-Fleury Steiner's music. "With the Pure Will to Move a Mountain" starts off with waves of vast melodic drones, ebbing and flowing and putting you in a state of suspension, suddenly broken by "He Slowly Lifted His Hands with Decay", which adds layers of slo-mo distorted riffs and wailing drone-solos (if there is such a thing). Then things settle to quiet again with the lengthy "And I Dissolved into Small Particles of Dust", which lulls you for more than 20 minutes with loops and peaceful ebow textures, before waking you one more time with some lacerating feedback. SiF combines the ecstatic string-generated tapestries of Fear Falls Burning, Troum, Stefano Pilia, Moljebka Pvlse etc. with heavier, doomy passages, à la "Earth 2", or Light of Shipwreck to stay in the GoS roster. Very nice stuff by a promising project, just one step away from producing truly breathtaking material.
