An album unearthed in the IC studio of Colin Potter (Ora, Monos, Nurse With Wound), "Carboniferous" is a deeply atmospheric, four-track ambient release. The hour-long album showcases slow-shifting electronic drones, minimalist piano patterns and treatments, and heavy effects processing.

Loosely described by Potter as "rhythmic drone music", the tracks are remixes of Jonathan Coleclough's album "Period' (2001), which Potter also worked on. These pieces were made before the use of computers became commonplace in studios. They were all mixed live, without editing, using a physical mixing desk and external analogue and digital effects units.

"Potter's speciality is working with effects placed upon the original material, so it becomes something else, and his mastery is to make it sound like it's static and minimal. In contrast, it shifts and moves around, very rarely staying in one place. The pure piano sometimes starts the piece or appears halfway through... This serves as a fine reminder of the sources. These are four strong pieces, in which the 'live' element is a strong presence, adding to the lively atmosphere of the music. (Vital Weekly).
