Erland Dahlen's 'Clocks' presents the listener with a series of epic cinematic soundscapes. Although there is no actual film to illustrate, the imaginative power and suggestive resonance of Dahlen's compositions easily stand comparison with the work of leading film composers. Rock and post-rock references are relevant, for Dahlen appears completely unapologetic about adding an echo-laden '80s drum-thump, or a buzz-saw industrial guitar-drone alongside the avant-garde found-sounds one might associate with Harry Partch's hub-caps, gongs or bells.
