With a name like Scabeater, you could be tempted to expect Golden Butterfly to be some sort of extreme black metal opus with an ironic title--but, in reality, this is a wonderfully sparse, elegant album of eerie minimalist ambience that is at once melodic and amorphous. Another review stated that Golden Butterfly has a horror-movie soundtrack sort of feel to it, and that is a very accurate description: the music is very evocative of horror soundtracks, but does not need any accompanying visuals (save those conjured up in your own mind) to work. Whether listening intently to the simple but very effective orchestration, or just letting this album play in the background while writing or reading, you'll find your hackles rising and you may look over your shoulder occasionally to see if anyone or anything is there. I highly recommend this album for fans of Nightmare Lodge, Forma Tadre, and John Carpenter.
This track reminds me a lot of early Stone Tower-era Delerium being remixed by BT: a great combination of powerful beats, ominous synths, and melodic textures that really give the composition a cinematic feel. If someone ever gets around to filming William Gibson's Neuromancer, this would make a good "theme song" for Wintermute.
If you like Delerium, Amethystium, Blue Stone, and other "ethnotechno" artists of a similar vein, then this album is a MUST HAVE, as Baumont manages to capture the general sound of said music very well while still maintaining a unique approach that clearly separates him from the rest. I cannot recommend this album enough.
You know...I really don't like instrumental jazz. I don't like jazz, *period.* So why am I giving three thumbs up to this album? Because it's so endlessly inventive. This is not your usual freeform, random, tedious jazz noodling: the tracks here each have a structure and a personality all their own that holds them together consistently despite their improvisational leanings. A number of different instruments shine through and each song is a new land waiting for discovery. Seriously, increase the dosage: once you hit saturation point, you'll be amazed at the things you may see and hear!
