gorgeous .... choir sounds harmonies just tremendous mixed with a little bit of chaos rhythm section for a beautiful mind on first track . deep affecting strings become your lullaby in the second all together devastating like falling to sleep in your worst nightmare . third i m going a little loopy-kooky with the sullen , repressed pads contrasting against an intricate maze of thoughts and rhythm . then it sounds like a drummer is slightly intoxicated and bizarrely confused as he plays with his new echo effects pedal on four . the final track sounds like a stock funk-disco music track for elevators has hot-circuited and barely bleeding through the speakers .
never know what you re gonna find in catalogue de Schizyfos . a fascinating journey into mind
i like it a lot !!! good work .
a favourabl listen , charming keyboard sound that seems to just about fit with any & every thing thrown behind it !! quite relaxing to be honest - the dissonances don t affect this mood suprisingly (and welcomely ) , and of course the ambient sounds add deeply to this calmness . seems to focus more on the keyboard towards the end meanwhile with rain on the umbrella palette . i enjoyed that high note and the following from 3:27 . managed to sustain interest through out the 8 minute improv .
as for the marvellous theme of the piece , i can imagine the keyboard sound ITSELF being the voice of the Pandora Alien Being , and the images of earth being conjured up by his storytelling illustrated by the background noise !!!!!! very imaginative , certainly ... a welcome spin on music with ambient sound . ..
I enjoyed listening to this quirky little album !! I understand that these are '8bit' versions of other songs written by Fremito . Some of the tracks could have been from ancient video games if it weren t so slightly here and there , oddry-where ! It sounds quite "MIDI"like but I think there is enough variation to make it stand on its own as a listen . indeed , Some of the chords were a joy to behold . I particularly enjoyed the ultimate "orchestral" ending to the album !!!
Perhaps you could liken it to the soundtrack of a batty professor 's life and the ups and downs of his magical inventions , that could rescue your cat in the perils of a tree in the most unlikely of ways , or perhaps ultimately , they could save the world , and prove all his naysayers wrong thanks to his brilliant Nay-sayers-Be-Gone™ hairspray .
if you like odd little things and have nostalgia for video games , Give this a chance , with no askance , and dance like you ve ants in your pants !
The evilness of this music is enough to leech the marrow from my ear bones
Aching drones like great drifting icebergs of beauty . The music acts like one giant backdrop
against which the concept story is painted . Great desolate plains and the silent horrors that float down the river and through the ship crew's minds are revealed . The thin layer of sonority on Passage of Kings I imagine to represent the only bit of divine consciousness left in this barren , diseased wasteland . Is this what the plague would sound like !! The darker tones are dominant on this CD but there are just enough lighter tones to inject life into this music , making sure you yourself don't fall victim to this terrible event !!!!!!
A dosage of music that infects your brain and slows down all thought processes . . .. mmmmmmmarvellous
really a surprising dynamic of rapping/spoken word with long weaving melodies as well as the odd chorus hook ....
the flute on elastique what a great flavour with those taiko drums!!! throughout ,very interesting &efective merge of midiesque sounds with audio vocals . most effective on "grand bancs" imo - having almost the energy and movement of a live performance acheiving a great unique sound, reminding me of some kind of national anthem !!
space-kitch describes it well in all in all ,.. space-kitch hip-hop, while others like Les Annees a bizarrely excellent mix of old fashioned pop harmonies , spoken word , and discotheque !! ... and panpipes ...
listening to this music , you WILL smile ! i never thought it but this music genuinely does SOUND funny in a great way . the sound palette is really quite large yet all the sounds seem to merge together wonderfully on the canvas and the end production is perfecT (yes , to the 56 degree spit trajectory of a T) .
what a gift to be free ,
abs olutely amazing cant recommend enough
lots of different ideas , very creative !would describe it as some kind of new age instrumental folk pop ! Iparticularly liked the choir sounds for some strange reason - in fact i would have even liked to hear a voice on some tracks with the more singable melodies , because there are certainly singable melodies in there ( "harmonise" ," within me without you" !).
my favourite tracks were "time to reflect" {[great choice with the flutey instrument) , "when i find myself" (reminds me what music inside the elevator to heaven would sound like or something!! ] and "drop in the ocean" ( great guitar delay & choir :D)
and of course lovely picture on the cover art
an intriguing listen with great harmoies .
a low sparse piano opening on "place no one known" introducces differnt instruments of the wold which turns into a pleasant composition ,
I thought the mistake on the piano followed by a wollop in "combination" was comedy genius and i literally burst out laughing !! i can imagine a full length LP with quirky details like this could certinly be a joy to listen .
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
