This indeed is a brilliant album, agree a lot with ivan and doc concerning such works that go far beyond commercial first-gain views, Starts wonderful with a perfect combination of prose, chant and music, track two is a cinematic masterpiece, with modest means a huge impact is realised. Insomniac gives a desperate feel, wonderfully caught. The idea of a concept-album works wonders here, with every minute a diversification and attention that is highly rewarding. The minimalistic but very melodic approach is great, with natural contributions of all three artists. Ivans's serpent gives a magnificent centerpoint from where the album broadens to artistic and very entertaining highlights in every spectre of the musical richness we can live in nowadays. For a first album this is extremely well done, highly recommendable for free musical spirits, in fact one big advocation for the musicscene that is present nowadays and free available for all who can and want to hear.... Congratulations with this masterpiece. it tranced my life :)
Starting great. Nice dark atmosphere, relaxed and same time challenging mood, epic in a way many different stories pass by. This could be a great movie score, Attenborough in the doomed wilderness. Nice use of rhythms in Houkutuksenkoi. Fine album.
Great (short) album from Ren. Superb atmosphere, getting adventurous with nice jazzy edges, superb instrumentation (nice keyboards, sax ) but above all a wonderful feel. Melancholic yet optimistic, occasionally great modest swings. Indeed only 1 problem: way too short, i would have loved an hour of this style, but i expect a sequel.Recommended. Great job.
Great and intriguing as nearly always. This guy is a monument, already producing a vast collection of utterly adventuruous music and great artwork. Hat off, cap down.
Experimental, musical, emotion. Collectors items
The joy of a first release.... Out of nothing, nearly modest emerge the first tones, and i can imagine the smile it brings to the artist. Found this interesting stuff and blog thanks to the oitt review and wondered this one even didn't get a review... Jamendo is growing too big and you need ages to find interesting stuff. Glad i found this one, which is promising to continue following. Just woke up and this energetic and mellow stuff greatly filled the morningpeace. Nice builtup, variations and giving a glimpse of what may come out. Very interesting to explore the way to soulfull filling, an interesting way from reason to live....
Brilliant tracks reminding of the great '80's , the era that produced lots of superb neue welle, new wave singles. That great vinyl era... Here you get a great example of how beautiful synths and guitarplay and rhythms can be produced. Driving, pounding, darkish. Only problem i have with the vocals, i think its a pity he uses to much "talking" and is following the melodic lines too much, reminding of a more theatrical singing. But i guess thats my problem, being spoiled by Waits, Cave and Curtis. Let me adore the music, and thats great.
Mante is a great track, superb combination of the sweet tinklebells and profound melodic and rhythm- lines.Good track with nice feel. Also the ambient version i like very much, beautiful atmosphere. Gefeliciteerd and you're very welcom...
Nerdhappy?? hmm , some name.... ambient as tag? ok, lets listen..... The start isn't very promising, some nerd playing a riddle along with a rhythmbox.....
Someone ringing my door, after 2 minutes music still playing and sounding very interesting, so let it play... must say the music gets intriguing after 3 minutes, very nice, relaxing, taking you along, and bringing nice shifting, minimalistic variations that keep on the whole rest of the album. So happy nerd saved by the bell, and advise to survive the first 2 annoying minutes. Learned again not to browse too quickly. Question stays: why starting an album so uninteresting? or is that the migraine part? cured...
Great sleeve, great fun, idiotic combination of freak guitar, harpsichord, discobeat and serious proclamation that works very well. Greatly produced and arithmetically mixed together, delivering us a surprise that could be a hit in 1809 as well as 2009. Timeless crossover with a big smile.
No words left, simply the best pianoalbum on Jamendo.... just listen and enjoy this great wonder.....
