Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2005-08-24
Gorgeous ambient, ethereal sounds in the style(s) of Cocteau Twins, Dif Juz, Brian Eno, The Durutti Column or an instrumental version of The Chameleons UK. Very nice & blissful in most instances.
((((1)))) Slowly build up, psychedelic guitar winding, lots of echo & slow shimmer.
(((2))) Repeated chords, loudly to softly played and hand clap effects
((3)) Verrry chill but almost too minimal & bordering on the thin ice of ‘new age’
(((4))) Minimal, slow, drifting & nice Eno & Fripp sounding piece.
((((5)))) Beautiful repeated chords which make up for the canned keyboard sound. Great mix of Cocteau Twins & The Durutti Column.
((((6)))) Glacial paced ambient ‘ala Eno or Windy & Carl.
