I Could Not Love You More

Audio Mixer: Daniel Freeman.
The continual playing out of larger aesthetic concerns in what can loosely be described as "ambient" music gets a perfect illustration in Rameses III's 2009 album I COULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE, given that the trio, especially given all its previous work, could just as easily be called psych, drone, instrumental, electronic...pick a style, pick a sound. Like any number of acts, Rameses III rely less on codification than open-ended bleed-over and reconstruction, resulting in songs like the opening "We Shall Never Sing of Sorrow," where the serene, melancholy tones of keyboards, guitars, and other instruments intertwine to suggest equally open-ended vistas: rising suns, pastoral summers, drifting contemplation.
