Uncannily eerie with an exceptional take on Ave Maria as a first track. Nice rendition that fits the cover well. I am very impressed and love the version of an old classic. There is already a liquid fuzziness to the sensation of searching introspectively and overtly, the different layers of experience. This dreamy, disjunction with reality continues through, to another sense of the classic in La Marche Turque. Verstrupatilanilan is that slurred attempt at communication, what kind of entity have you become to experience the world in such a peculiar manner.
Pour Elise, brings in more experience of the classic distorted in a world full of extra stimuli, things that you wouldn't normally experience but don't necessarily distract, but add to the experience. As if you were a radio receiver with all channels active simultaneously. The focus changes towards the end, as if undertaking one of those immense moments of realisation. Strirfrur has a dark, ominous feel at first. Like surfacing from a sea of dead souls, that surround you in your own partial transubstantiation.
Johannes Passion again echoes and resounds beautifully distorted, but still with the reality of the original passion and what the soul of it really portrays. Flibustre has that sense of delayed reaction to your environment and all of its inherent risk at being in such a vulnerable position. Exquisite sound manipulation. Minimalist in places almost to the point of a poignant silence with distance from reality, which is part and parcel of the experience. Also there is a profundity evident, which seems to describe the dark matter of the universe trying to rebalance the individuals dilemma.
This musical concoction is definitely not for the faint-hearted and maybe will only find a selective audience, apart from the obvious attraction of the title itself. However, it meets all the criteria of the expressed genres, and I have my own distant personal experiences to draw on. Days long passed, but memories of clarity that still meddle with my sense of being. Once you've been there, there is no turning back. Which brings me to the last track, Strirfur tres lent. It sounds like a comedown from the start. For me that would often be signified and verified by the sounds of nature as a new day awakens. The start of a new life, with new perspectives and interaction. I was essentially a soloist in my endeavours to walk through the doors of perception, and found immense depths inside me and huge expanses without me. A wider horizon in a sense. Stunning album, nice work indeed.
