First impression, the group Arcana sprung to mind, no bad thing that.
An album of dark gothic. Doom and gloom surround you. Best listened to in the darkness with just a single flickering candle for company.
Musically, tracks 1 and 5, deep and fulfilling from a sound perspective. Great start and finish. In between somewhat more varied. Track 4 is fine but marred somewhat by some less than polished editing. That surprised me, as any half decent software will do a decent job but somehow this track is very jarry in the repeated places, poor looping?. Tracks 2 and 3 sound as if they come from some suspense laden B-movie soundtrack. Effects like thunder and dripping water abound. Track 2 builds okay but the ending drags on too long and track 3 is ideal if you want to climb a creaky staircase carrying the candle just to discover what is making the sound emanating from the top and scaring you to death. Again in this track there is evidence of less than perfect editing of the repeated layers.
Overall, a fine, enjoyable album let down by some production issues. Still liked it all though. Thanks my friend.
Intelligent design and irreducible complexity. The soft rock option detracts from what is otherwise a potentially good album of surface atmospherics. The minimalist inclination works better, there is no point belabouring a musical point as much as any other form of communication. Then there is a risk of being captured forever in an intermittently freezing, slow-motion framework.
Another opposite pole, another gallery of thoughts... words lost from my mind... awesome? not exact the right word...
But for me is the best.
Good job.
Great art cover.
CONFUGIUM CORVORUM.. dark, dramatic, haunting, eerie, sound-scape of musical expression that is atmospheric-al,stimulating, drawing you in more and even deeper into this enticing,thriller,horror type music..With well placed delicate vocals heard far and few between,and the excellent use of natural sound affects from rain to thunder storms and so on heard. That added that extra slice to the mix of pure genius,exciting, interesting, entertaining, enjoyable,thought provoking,dramatic, scary music,that could be use in any great epic horror movie score, or soundtrack. Feelings and emotions that go into this artistic-al expression is outstanding and mesmerising-ly perfect and done to a very hight standard to say the least.A professional humanity,devilish scape of music
saying... Enter into my nightmares, if you dare, and walk in my foot steps, and feel what I feel, and hear what I hear, and touch what I saw and feel what I touched,and then you are.........
RORATE COELI...spine tingling,minimal piano music,with dramatic thunderous roars of thunder.. the night is spooky, the air is still and the heat of the storm is heightening my senses and making me feel so.....scared.. the choir like vocals I hear in my head.. the organ is ringing in my head.. I feel so many things start to happen around me.. is it my imagination, is it the storm making me think this....excellent dramatic, compelling, inspirational, thought provoking, dark, eerie, spooky,breath taking atmosphere that is a show stopper and a winner in my eyes..
ULTIMA RATIO REGUM.....dramatic, overbearing,coming to get you, entering into your soul... I smell you, hear you,but can not see you.. you are coming for me.. closer and closer I feel you..my skin crawls with your touch.. Its raining I run outside to escape your clutches and you follow me...
sinister, dramatic, fearful,thought provoking, scared, freak out. atmospheric-al, classical, instrumental, gothic music.
OMNIA POSSUM IN EO, QUI ME CONFORTAT..empathetic, emotional, compassionate, moving, beautiful, heartfelt, dramatic, comforting... I feel my heart beat fast and my soul, feels heavy but my spirit is high due to adrenaline and my mind is in a spin, so many things going on. I can't think straight.. I feel numb, scared, moved and emotional to the music.. All my fears are still their under this blanket of comforting, compassionate, heartfelt music.. I smile but underneath.. I feel the burden of my nightmares still their.. waiting.. waiting for me.... again...
FLAGELLUM DEORUM.....I march proudly to the other side of my dream, as daylight comes across my window pane, I feel the wake appear in my eyes and my soul start to lift and think.. It was a nightmare.. it was not true.. I dreamt it.. all will be okay now.. I'm alive and I'm awake.. ....
calm fills me.. for quite awhile and then I see you again.. in my dreams.. help I'm awake thou...
