Music really interesting / scheming which blends types and voices to transport us along a sound poem / ballet rather minimalist because essential. Voices are particularly well sung while sounds regulate or envelop in a subtle way in the point that transitions make very of course what gives a real unit in this sonic poem which I would see definitely in ballet, one day, can be... Thank you very much for the share Cvijaxo :)

Musique vraiment intéressante/intrigante qui mêle les genres et les voix pour nous transporter le long d'un poème/ballet sonore plutôt minimaliste car essentiel. Les voix sont particulièrement bien chantées tandis que les sons rythment ou enveloppent de manière subtile au point que les transitions se font tout naturellement ce qui donne une réelle unité à ce poème sonique que je verrais bien en ballet, un jour, peut être...
Un grand merci pour le partage Cvijaxo :)

First,you can hear the amazing and successful balance between the sounds of the music,voices and silence;the use of english language musicality in Ivan's voice,seemingly detached,the powerful singing of Mary Cross,spelling and seducing.
And that balance between sounds and/or silence expresses in a different way for each track:percussions and chords chasing each other on 'Shine',soft but danceable groove on 'Noah's Raven',bass-dotted lines of middle-east music mixed with contemporary Jazz piano on 'True Story',overstretched rhythmic patterns like an expanding beat on 'Serpent from the ground',romantic melody played by a string section on 'Rue Moriette'...and on most of these tracks,silence plays a role(but there's a lot of music,though!!!),except maybe on 'Insomniac',the most 'noisy' tune of the album.
Before reading the lyrics,that have a lot to do with Ancient Cultures,I had a Sci Fi feel,and I guess there's a will to "expand"that knowledge toward the Future,expand like the Universe is expanding,each particle getting away from each other,with more silence between,(it's a feeling I had,but I might be completely wrong!!)

...au service de cette oeuvre expérimentale et poétique. Cvijaxo est un orfèvre dans la manière d'assembler les sons (à découvrir si vous ne le connaissez pas). Si vous êtes anglophones, prenez le temps de lire les paroles d'Ivan1984 et de Mary Cross, cela vous permettra de situer plus rapidement l'idée de cet album. Cvijaxo nous présente une autre manière de "voir"... un autre monde, peut-être celui que nous avons oublié...avant d'arriver à la Vie, à la Lumière...à la Connaissance ?

Un Grand BRAVO aux 3 artistes !

... and call for truth.
C. at last gives us an LP to give us time to enter his musical and sounding universe.
And that does it, with the golden collaboration of Mary Cross and Ivan1984.
Funny thing happened meanwhile : the songs we already know seem different ! sounds like C. has remastered them.

And it sounds fantastically good !

Thanks for the work and share.
