2010 release from the Canadian Ambient/Experimental artist. In the beginning, it was impossible to predict subtractiveLAD"s musical evolution. It was as if his first album Giving Up The Ghost was the initial splash from a pebble thrown into a pond and each subsequent album a ripple which grew broader in scope, became less disruptive and more meditative. They have all had one key aspect in that Stephen Hummel, the man who records as subtractiveLAD, has always been genuine in the projection of emotions in his music. On Life At the End Of the World, Hummel"s sixth album, percussive elements, pretense of genre, and theoretical pollutants that could cloud the candid nature of this current ripple in Hummel"s pond are a thing of the past. The result is one of subtractiveLad"s most lush yet thread bare albums to date.
