Hey! Glad to see you.
Just wanted to suggest some great albums and share the pleasure they have given me.
Ulver: Perdition City.
It was an everyday afternoon in high-school. A friend of mine took his discman out of his knap-sack and said: listen to this, I think you are gonna like it. He put the first track and in a few seconds, there was something inside me saying: I’ve been waiting 16 years to hear something like this.
Perdition City is the fifth studio LP of the norwegian band Ulver. Its themes are passionate, full of melancholy and their development, intelligent and fierce. The ultra high-frequency textures across the entire album will make you remember Pierre Henry, but along with a lot of cool synths, beats, clicks, cuts and an audacious digital production you can hear the drums, distort and lyrics of a true rock band.
A deep and cinematographic experience with every listening.
Steve Jansen: Slope
Jansen’s first album is simply wonderful. So carefully produced, and able to arouse such intense feelings, that I’m sure David Sylvian is, again, jealous of his baby brother.
It’s something difficult to describe. It sounds like ambient, prog and experimental electronica mixed with delicate vocals and contemporary arrangements.
The mood of the album is a strange feeling between happiness and nostalgia, perhaps like crying when remembering something wonderful that is gone.
Something to listen carefully on a quiet afternoon.
