There is a finely balanced introductory track here, I really like it. M Is Back, definitely sets the bar. Désirs has a lovely pace and perspective, it is impossible to dislike, I think. Very satisfying. Fy retains what seems to be an attitude/ability, having something similar to it but not the same. Very different and even better in construction. Frustrar brings in the rock sound more evidently, still retaining a good dose of techno. Good mix and blending. Works well. BotoxRefresh223, actually sounds like a surgical procedure and produces pretty stunning effects, as a result of the effort.
I remember an old story about hoof tracks found in the snow in Devon one morning, attributed to the Devil's March. Fascinating story back then when I was a lad, fascinating track, now I am older. Crysalide develops with an increasing pace and blossoms into a delicate unfolding of musical wings. A veritable chiaroscuro of musical expression. Profoundly reverberating, as nature does constantly. Good title track. With such a name as Floating Cloud, you might expect something lighter, though this has quite some substance and put to good effect. Nice movements. No Time Only One Moment has a poignant feel to it, part of the overall transubstantiation that seems ingrained in all of these tracks. Excellent structuring and delivery. Some tracks are likeable from the word 'go' and Snapler is one of these. Almost as if whatever happens from thereonin cannot put a foot wrong. Grand intonation and well-presented.
Flat continues the excellence that permeates this album like an integral nervous system to the body of the album. The content is varied but the spirit remains the same, which suggests artistic integrity to me. Would have liked that one a bit longer, but maybe that's just being greedy!) Songs about things as large as the sea are open to a huge horizon of opportunity in terms of expression. Here there is depth enough, and a regulated movement, without resorting to the actual sound of water, it conveys the strength of the element and comes over as quite a strong emotionality. Potentially remaining near the waterside, we then go Under The Bridge. This could be part of a journey, or a place to hide. Tidy work.
Don't Care, sometimes actually works out just right. So, even if this was the case at the point of conception, like that perfect shot that you would struggle to repeat, the track covers volumes of words, like a good picture. Interestingly structured and presented in a confident, strident but not harsh, manner. Nicely worked out, or worked out nicely. Either way, it works. Finally, and not at all surprisingly we are left with Butterfly. Those wonderful, sometimes stunningly beautiful insects, that seem to be on a decline. It might just be me, but I seem to see less each year, though like I say, I cannot back that up with anything like empiricism. Profoundly good sound manipulation and creativity here in this last track, and throughout the entire album. Thanks for sharing. Good listening herewith.
