Hello, i am sure you will like this album if you like odd, quirky music with an innocent charm.
the album is diverse in sounds and ideas but all the tracks unite with an endearing lofi, slightly naive quality... it's like digging into an old rusty toy chest , full of exotic delights . And at over an hour in length , that's over an hour of digging to find something you will cling to most !
the music ranges from dissonant destruction(but innocently, like a child playing) to beautiful haunting melodies ... and that's just the first two tracks !
nice cover art too
A nice little 'gem of sound' to find on Jamendo!!The little theme of telling a story is a nice touch, You can just imagine a narrator over the top ... "Once upon a time , far far away, in a land time forgot ... " just a bit on the short side , love to hear more !
this is great ! a wonderful idea for an album (people playing instruments they cant) and an interesting subject also . it proves to be quite a challenging listen , and it makes me wonder if the players really are this terrible or they are trying to be slightly 'avant garde' also !!! which kind of covers up their playing skills! good for them i say , and I would have also love to have heard a song where they try to play melodic harmonies and rhythms together with their limited skills , just for a change !
i did enjoy the kind of 'live jam' sessions the most ! it captures the spontaneous energy best . it's kind of like walking down the hallways of music practice rooms in a school! but the effects do add a charming variety to the album .
overall a very unique and delightful treasure to find !!
THe sounds on this album give off a very abstract feeling from the opening track which certainly has a feeling of being lost in a bizarre nightmare . then the second track which is probably what your life would sound like if you lived in the clock from Countdown!! ! Beneath the dense harmonies there are some beautiful chord changes going on (panopticon2 , panopticon5) which without I think the musc miht ujust fall apart , even though it feels on the verg of that anyway... Someting that feels like bing on the fragile verge of a large mental breakdown because the music certainly has a wondeerfully chaotic sound . I dont think you'd be able to tell if there was a wrong note in here yet Schizyfos has chosen al the right ones to give that feeling .
The album cover again sheds a well chosen mood onto the whole piece of music ... Abstract treelike structures and you get the feeling of delving very deep into the mind or the forest of something else here . I think Schizyfos is a very talented musician ,,long may it continue !
Just brilliant ! I haven't been this intruiged by a piece of music in a while. Very unique style . The sounds used possess quite a childlike character yet the rhythms and harmonies are very complex/ strange! !! The cover reflects the mood perfectly. You can feel the relentless agony written into those gut wrenching chords in the opener , to a quirky childlike madness in mh_3 . mh_4 sounds like someone has written an opening theme tune for a video game and then let their dog chew on the disc . brilliant i say !
... .basically i think its like something you might find on a very scratched retro video game CD ,which makes it rather beautiful . Can't thank you enough !
