Album description

The release of this Fauna album have been anticipated for the last four years for it is the one most complete and reflecting Fauna mood in the best way. Momentary cut of the surrounding world and feeling of eternity are equally inherent to each track of this record. Hymn to the emptiness, to its so varied phenomena is the essence and deep meaning of Have U Ever Talked To Angels?

Inner and outer emptiness, emptiness in relations, emptiness as sensation and as physical state, the never-ending whirlpool capturing the listener from the very first track and keeping intense up to the very end. And even further, after the music stops and it becomes quiet one starts to understand this quietness as nothing but the album continuation: its final chord, the echo which was not heard lately. This music, fancifully weaved of the tiny validity pieces, lets us think deep and reveal inside ourselves that very emptiness which permits to hear everything so well.

This has always been here, flying in the air, being hidden behind the sharp angles of the society cruel by intention, that there is practically nothing to oppose to. Nothing perhaps, except for revelations similar to Have U Ever Talked To Angels? We say revelations because they never shout themselves, never hurt the eye or bother the soul, never appear at once. To find them one needs to possess the courage and boldness of traveler, or, at least, is to be able to feel…

Pity that those courageous for such a journey are fewer and fewer left. Besides, there are fewer of those who can answer the question: Have U Ever Talked To Angels? And we are absolutely certain that there is nobody to ask a question like this.

I haven’t found a record that doesn’t lack anything on jamendo for a lomg time, so when I found Fauna’s - Have u ever talked to angels I was more than happy. This subtle dark-trip hop album is what a Creative Commons connoiseur may really appreciate. Almost every piece there is worthy listener’s attention, so let’s talk about each of them.
Slowly – very engaging, atmospheric piece with great vocals and extremely interesting rhythm section. The words are quite gloomy, but that’s why it’s called trip-hop and not pop.
14th floor – one may see Portishead’s influence here, but it’s got such an intense mood that one may not take it as a vice, but an advantage.
Daily sick, casual sick – great samples, a deep-dark mood, exactly the way it should be.
Dreamless – it gets more melodic there, but more in Mo’Wax or Warp style than Aguillera one. Add very professional use of reverbs in production and one may imagine what’s the piece like.
Emptiness – the composition has nice vocal samples and space-like atmosphere (some Kid Koala influence, perhaps?) and it’s a little bit ambiental but still it doesn’t lose this specific Fauna touch.
Hollow morning – that one is a real masterpiece. Natalia Careva (a featuring vocalist here) takes us into a dreamy, sentimental trance trip one won’t forget soon.
Wasteland – the tune clashes between 20’s samples and Portishead-like mood. Yummy.
Hyperlite love – I think the most electronic one on the record. Solid, however a little bit uninventive compared with the rest of the record.
Rainbawl – next electronic one. A tune that very neatly mixes female voice with almost Kraftwerk–like sounds.
Tomorrow – a nice, melancholic goodbye, reminding me a little bit of Tryad’s tunes.

It’s ten out of ten, ladies and gentelmen. I can’t wait to hear their next album, really.

stay cool,
