Rated 5/5
Review by mmk1138 May 17, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Originally released as a 12" LP limited to 750 copies, "Ludwijka" is now available in extended version on Shitkatapult label.

This is by no means a simple re-release, as Anders Ilar has reworked and improved the tracks. The music does not fit one specific genre, because it perfectly merges various styles into powerful sonic experience. Clicky, dubby, IDM-influenced pieces are filled with sounds culled from old tapes of little Anders himself singing, playing instruments and making various noises, artist's father on trumpet, meowing cat and birds, resulting with haunting, mysterious journey through childhood memories (the title Ludwijka relates to Ilar's hometown). A fantastic, unforgettable record and solid candidate for the best album of 2007.
