Wykręcona to płyta, jej wysłuchanie w całości wymaga od słuchacza sporego samozaparcia ... Duże brawa za żywe instrumenty, artysta udowadnia, ze potrafi nie tylko komponować, ale również grać. Jako całość album jest świetny jako soundtrack do np. filmu z wycieczki do psychiatryka ... Ja takie klimaty lubię, oczywiście nie każdy musi się ze mną zgadzać ... Oryginaly album, ideal for musical freaks and fans of all sonic experiments ... Very good production and generaly concept of this creation - I'm under impression of this music... Psycho - music, bravo!

Somnium's second Jamendo outing will no doubt sound familiar to those listeners already acquainted with his excellent "Interference". On this latest album there is the same preoccupation with building atmospheric tracks using shortwave radio fragments, ambient keyboard sounds, occasional acoustic instruments (in this case guitar and zither) as well as a variety of other samples. Overall the album has a more ethereal feel to it and for the most part lacks the brooding intensity of its predecessor. The opening track sets the tone for the remainder of the album - indeed "Beautiful Decay" might have served as a title for the whole work. I can't recall hearing this subject being treated so irresistibly since Michael Nyman's "Swan Rot" from the score of A Zed and Two Noughts. If there is a criticism to be made then it is that the album perhaps fails to live up to the promise of the opening few minutes. Still, it must also be pointed out that there is an inherent beauty in all of the tracks that follow even if the momentum is slightly lacking. I'm hoping that Somnium will choose to develop his sound further on future releases and build on the solid foundations of his first two Jamendo albums. In the meantime "Stillness in Motion" confirms that he is one of the most interesting artists currently active on this site. Any fans of ambient or dark ambient music would be foolish not to check him out.

a good experimental dark/cold ambient album,can hear well,I like it,thx!

Eigentlich gut – aber leider wird fast das komplette Album (und das ist wohl so gewollt) durch eine „Hintergrundrauschkulisse“ begleitet – wie ein altes Radio auf Sendersuche. Das machte für mich das Anhören leider sehr anstrengend – viel lieber hätte ich alle Stücke ohne diese „Spur“ genossen, da diese mir durchweg zu gefallen wissen – nur eben ohne dieses „Störfeuer“ als Stilmittel.
