"Analysis Reveals Nothing Of Substance" (March 2026) brought together the minds of Frans de Waard (Modelbau, Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem, Freiband, Shifts) and Steven Wilson (Bass Communion, Porcupine Tree) into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on such music exemplified a unique synergy rich in scope.
On "The End Of The Continuum", Frans gathers nine solo compositions effortlessly moulding wonderful shapes from sinewy electronic tones, spacey bleeps and bloops, iridescent babbling, penumbral shifts and a minimalist soundbed. There's as much emphasis on space as there is on sonics which might sit comfortably at the edge of the known universe. Somewhat more penetrable than similarly-inclined music, this is deep listening given a lift to the point one could drift away for endless days to it.
Besides the nine cuts there's an additional exclusive remix by BASS COMMUNION that catches Steven Wilson adding his own sounds and providing the lengthiest piece on the album. The perfect finale to an album once more compounding the fact there are still places to explore in the world of experimental ambient music.
