A fresh collaboration with Justbase, who provides the rhythms. A lot of energy came in and out. Here on Jamendo comes a sample of the results.
Hold is featuring the singer Geechi too, who's wonderful voice gives a great extra to the instrumentalists.
The singer of Morens wishes to stay incognito, also after several seductions.
Thanks WarMocK for another nice sleeve........
This was not at all the music i voluntarily would have listend to ... at first.
But that come along with a request from a (fine) musician for a cover of this album he directed to some members.
It did work! He set a good example ... i think.
I've listend to this music non-stop, pumped up volume for about five hours.
The topic of the experiment was "How long can a human brain withstand this m'yousick?"
Sorry, i missed the point of no return in this session.
The last presence of mind i can remember must have been around two
up to three hours after starting the player.
If it was a picture, i would say it's burnt on my retina.
Also the album might have been slightly more dynamic it's perfect for the season.
If KraftiM got other stuff like this up his sleeve, hope he puts those on the table ... someday ...
Vriendelijk bedankt!
Tot ziens!
An interesting start with a cacophony of rhythm and shining through the beats the ambient synthetic work makes itself known. Well-balanced and delightful additional instrumentation. Then they seem to spar gently for predominance. Brilliant end. The Second Track, Hold On, seem strange at first, almost disparate entities, but the track makes itself known and then the vocals seem to fit in more, reminded me of how I loved some of Siouxsie's B-sides. More of a lo-fi, experimental track I think. Still liked it for its own disowning charm.
Morens 2, is a fantastically well-paced and filled piece of work, the minimalist vocals worked brilliantly. And proved to be predominant despite their apparent simplicity. It's the voices used in this track that are the 'sensual', they express the inherent passion of the tracks in an exemplary way. Nice listening. Magic Base begins with a minimalistic feel, little noise, big effect, very atmospheric in the dark sense, very industrial. The KraftiM I know better, I guess. Strangely, the evocativeness of the music without the vocals seems stronger now. Are there subliminal vocals, that would be so cool!-)
The most experimental part of this album is the composition which doesn't rely on writing scores for natural instruments. For me, experimentation is always enjoyable to listen to.
Ambient-like music with an experimental edge.
I agree with the earlier reviewers that this is an interesting work. KraftiM is without a doubt a skilled musician, his songs are professionally crafted. Just as an example, the female voice on "Morens 2" is great. This album is not too ambient like a previous one, in fact it's not quite ambient in a strict sense. Therefore, I wondered for a long while why I didn't dig it...
And suddenly it came to me: these tunes are devoid of soul; completely emotionless. They lack this elusive quality, through which a song can influence a listener's emotions, mood or even sometimes behaviour. It's almost as if they were created not WITH a computer, but BY a computer.
I find similar lack of emotions in music of Nine Inch Nails - a professional band, praised by many, belonging to one of my favourite genres, but whose songs are too cold and artificial to be really enjoyable.
And just like NIN's music, this album met with very positive reactions on Jamendo. So despite my rather negative review, I encourage you to check it out. It's a short recording and you may like it just like the others.
The first track is interesting with a tribal type of rhythm working with
an Indian -like chiming or droning.An interesting experiment.
Morens 2 I found to be quite intense and exciting.
However I find some of the percussive sounds to be TOO artificial
or should I say lacking in color. I hope you can work more on the quality of that sound. Otherwise KEEP ON EXPLORING!
