"Awaiting The Dawn" contains some of the darkest, bone-chilling Ambient
compositions I have heard from a collection of independent artists. What makes
this even more impressive, is that Christian artists composed this music, which
puts to rest assertions that Christian Industrial is an oxymoron. For the most
part, this compilation is dark, thickly layered, beatless instrumentals,
however a few tracks do contains vocals, minimal percussion and samples to
break up the monotony of one long Ambient drone. Highlights include both Caul
tracks for their rich vibrance and moody pitch shifts, Bonescan for having the
most original band name I've seen in years, and Cult of Jester for their
blatant X-Files samples, used entirely without permission. Overall, "Awaiting
The Dawn" is a fine example of what a label with almost no budget release can
if they find artists with suitable talent and commitment to a project.
