psychopathethic

psychopathetic (2005) -- the first compilation. ID3 tags in the tracks say, it was mastered in 2005, although publication to Jamendo was made June 2006. The album opens with title piece -- quite unique mix resembling a bit CASIO keyboard demo song, until the guitars kick in: it is hard to distinguish, whether guitar is played live or looped -- but who cares? The final effect is good. We can hear more of it in the next piece: today  after peculiar harmonies of opening tune now we enter mild, multi-layered sound carpet, resembling distantly Mike Oldfield's late works. So is next in line november MMIII, which adds also some radiophonic effects at the end; them leading naturally to the powers of the herb, which bears strong influence of middle east harmonities, though tailored into tonal restrictions of western music. little ball, which closes the record, is little different in mood than the others -- for me the mood is a bit nostalgic, up to mild depression. The feeling of nostalgia is especially brought by the vinyl noise in the background. Overall -- a nice thing, good both for ambient sound background and for relaxing evening alone with Your stereo -- but why so short?. Eight stars.

Grace Valhalla every time i listen to your Art, it make's me wonder?what type of person you are, How do you spend your time, What make's you laugh & Cry? You Elegant woman. To create this kind of art is Truly Remarkable, It complement each other like colors, Music that has flavor,edge,elegance Truly exceptional. You take my Breath away...

Ok. This album is so short, that I can afford to tell something abort each of tracks.
1.psychopathethic – surprisingly, the worst number. The tune is not very convincing after you’d heard the way Aphex Twin use similar melodies. The drums are annoyingly plastik, and one of the samples is simply to midi for me.
2.today – much, much Belter. Nice gitar, quite catchy, worth listening for sure.
3.november MMIII – the best one from the record. Postrock looped guitars are In good concord with electronic gentle beat. Great background keyboard. Classy tune.
4.powers of the herb - very energetic, rock-guitar stuff with nice vocal samples. Goood one.
5.Little ball – almost trip-hop. The most samplified track on the record In the nice sentimental mood.

The cover is nice – a beach and the woman on it. What else should we want? ;-) And if I could watch Grace Walhalla in concert I would certainly do that!
Generalny the whole rekord would be a 9 for me, but ‘psychopathethic’ is little too pathethic for me, so I will give 8.

Stay cool!!!
