Harm Disarm Harmony actually really is just that, fantastic! Then into the haunted house, and I've been there, and in my head and experential memory banks, felt just like this wonderful nerve-jangling journey. Beautifully evocative, with a ghostly gracefulness. The third track a pleasure to behold, angelic. In limbo, do you speak the lingo (Siouxsie). Subways have alway held a particular fascination for me, but Freud aside, nice and straightforward track.
Whoop has a lovely movement and it noise and rhythm skilfully contracted and stretched. Really like this one's atmosphere. Track six is so good it just existed in my moments of life it took to hear it, perfect shot. Candle, makes me think of The Creatures or a Siouxsie and the Banshees b-side, and they were brilliant tracks sometimes. Like the lyrics, straight to the point. Ifsa II very streamlined, pleasant track.
Sunny Buzzing Window has a lovely tone to it, very dynamic, pulsing with synth like a swarm. The next track is nice and gentle on the senses, nice atmosphere again, but more positive in its fluidity. Almost a part of a hymnal symphony, such is the beautitude, so it seems. Waiting, we wait to die, has a nice medium range effect, not overbearing but subtle enough to encapsulate the times I've sat by windows waiting. It never came but dinosaurs don't exist anymore, so I turn my imagination to this lovely track.
Department for LFSP has me getting all Kafkaesque and thinking of sitting in lonely corridors waiting for someone to emerge from somewhere and release me from the tense boredom that such a situation can create. Nice track while I was waiting. It is followed by unlucky track 13, which is quite a bright affair from the start. Light but not necessarily fluffy with it. Nice combinations of sound and rhythm throughout this track, and I'd say pretty much the whole album so fair, each in their own right. KraftiM picked a good partner in music.
Stootkussen a wonderfully atmospheric piece, quite dark in some sense but not evil personified as such, more like fleeting shadows in the void. However, with some equivocation perhaps. Either way, a nice piece of work. The next track, is almost like the second part to the former, such that it continues the feel of the work. Beautifully done. The next track, has a strange voice sample to start and then gets down to the business. Nice melodiousness to it and slithering rhythm to accompany it. Nice development and progression, with some wonderful sounds involved.
Regret starts sonically solo, then a digestible rapping buzz infiltrates the ear drums. My only regret is becoming so dependant on this tool of a PC and its tenuous connection to the world, that can be terminated even when the bill has been paid. I don't get a refund for a limited bandwidth which it often is. Regret had a lot to say too. Return to Piano, a nice little interlude track with an easy flow to it. The track that follows is instrumentally sinister and nice for that, the lyrics go right over my head, too abstract for me to follow.
Don't Know Why (Spaced Out Mix) reverberates gorgeously and begins to add layers of voices in harmonious existentialism. There is, with the flutish piping, an oriental feel to it and makes it quite a nice listen. The last track, a fitting epilogue to an all round pretty good album. Peaceful, wholesome and together. It has a soundtrack quality of a decent and profound film having gone by your senses and moved you to a point where you appreciate the delicacy of life and how we endeavour to reach out and touch fellow souls in this mad, mad world. Nice album, thanks.
