Clarity In Darkness reviews Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:00:00 GMT Clarity In Darkness has been greeted with some great reviews so far:
DPRP "I can think of no room for improvement from this awesome band. 10/10"
Big Distraction "Where The Resonance Association go from here is anybody's guess ... they have produced a phenomenal work of art that will satisfy fans of the band and newcomers alike for a long time to come. Outstanding."
Terrorizer magazine "Fans of the Drone Zone will dig this ... a release that takes time to catch, but when it does it's impressive"
Rock-A-Rolla "Classic prog meets ambient meets drone meets industrial ... [Clarity In Darkness] definitely has its moments, strangely stuck in some parallel dimension between the 80s and the avant world of today"
Hippy Towers "What we have here is the band's finest work. Not just compositionally, though there's certainly plenty of variety on offer here; nor merely in terms of the production which is also the clearest and best-defined that the duo have enjoyed to date; but also in terms of honing their trademark sound to a fine point and also in that they have tried some interesting new variations on that sound"
Of course, as they say, you can't please everyone...
Mass Movement "There is no way to peg this into a category except maybe experimental"
InYourSpeakers.com "... so meek and dull it would put a sugar-buzzed child to sleep ... relentlessly long"
Clarity In Darkness is available now from Burning Shed (CD), Rough Trade (CD), Southern Records (CD), Norman Records (CD), Amazon (download), iTunes (download), eMusic (download) and Napster (download).

clarity in darkness update Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:00:00 GMT Clarity in Darkness is now being manufactured!
Our friends at Disc Wizards, who produced the the wonderful Daniel Vincent solo album disc earlier this year, are working on the discs as we speak.
clarity in darkness - the new album Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:31:40 GMT Lauded in post-industrial, progressive and mainstream rock press alike, The Resonance Association cements its position at the forefront of dark progressive music with its wildly eclectic third album Clarity In Darkness.
Recorded in sessions throughout 2009, Clarity In Darkness sees the band's trademark styles - atmospheric electronics, guitar solos, heavy drones and pulsing rhythms - collide into epic, panoramic soundworlds.
1. Dangerous Fantasist (4:58) 2. Medal Of Dishonour (7:47) 3. Magick is the Science (6:41) 4. Heart Of Chaos (20:39) 5. How to Recognise Angels (1:44) 6. Pearlescence (7:11) 7. Clarity In Darkness (18:08)
Opening with the frenetic Dangerous Fantasist and the ominous Medal Of Dishonour, Clarity In Darkness is an uncompromising statement of independence and creativity. Progressive rock purists will delight in the twists and unexpected turns of the epic Heart Of Chaos and the majestic title track, while the band's reputation for fearless experimentation is further enhanced by the brooding, folk-influenced Pearlescence, the eclectic musings of Magick is the Science and the ethereal ambience of How to Recognise Angels.
