Submerged

Paul Taylor is one half of Sutcliffe No More, formerly Sutcliffe Jugend.
He is and was also a member of Inertia, Bodychoke and Slaves No More.
Most of his music has its background in the power electronics scene that evolved in Great Britain around the label Come Organisation and the group Whitehouse.
Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds; with screamed and distorted vocals.
The genre is noted for its influence from industrial.
It is generally atonal, like most noise music and also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms.
To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions.
For Submerged, a very private and introspective album, Paul lets the psyche dive deep into the depths of the ocean.
The music is dark, droney and meditative.

It begins with fairly evenly flowing & sweeping darkly tinged string-like patterns - but as it progresses these start to slow, pan back, and reduce.
As this occurs we move from more subtle warped dark harmonics, though locked bass purrs/ shudders, lightly seesawing
midrange eeriness, mixes of deep warbles, distant darting wails, general unease hover, climbing shimmer & space haze.
