Van Hoen, Mark

The Eternal Present (2cd)

Mark Van Hoen's album 'The Eternal Present' is a stunning retrospective spanning nearly three decades of recordings (1998-2024). Inspired by Joseph Campbell's concept of timeless existence, the album explores music as a transcendent force, blending spectral melodies, decayed textures, and evolving sonic landscapes. A pioneering figure in electronic music, Van Hoen - known for his work as Locust and collaborations with Slowdive's Neil Halstead and Nick Holton - continues to refine his signature sound. Featuring contributions from Rachel Goswell, Megan Mitchell, and more, The Eternal Present showcases a rich tapestry of influences, from Kraftwerk and Brian Eno to Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. Mastered by Stefan Betke (Pole) and visually realized by Ian Anderson (Designers Republic), this album is both a sonic and conceptual journey through time and memory. The CD version also contains the tracks of Mark's previous album ('Plan For A Miracle') on the second CD.
