Each one of the five compositions on "New Emptiness" may use tones or oscillating loops as something of a starting point, but true to form Richard Youngs teases each one into new shapes where different shading applies as well as an unexpected rhythm or, on final cut 'Annulus II', his manipulated voice enter the fray.

"New Emptiness" draws from both the avant-garde of contemporary minimalist music and his own tendency not to settle for half-measures. It is an album that requires a little sweat oozing from the ears of the listener.
