Super Minerals - Multitudes - 22-Apr-09 05:34 PM
This album desperately needs some proper mixing. Not even proper, but just some clearing up. There are many sounds, but not too many of them seem confident to exist alone without becoming muddy, muffled and diffused by other sounds. Some of the sounds are interesting, and some simply try to be. More needs to be refined before so much can happen, or else less needs to happen before a true rapport is developed between the musicians and the sounds being used.

Ambitious, but caught up in certain predetermined expectations about what this type of new post-Folk/Ambient-Organic etc music should be.

How can someone engage all these sounds into a single composition, with all its teeming miniatures, subtle epiphanies and shifting punctuations ?

I wonder, because Sasu Ripatti has achieved this : intertwining multitudes of rhythmic layers and hidden melodies -- whilst maintaining an immense presence and undulating reason for musical existence. Ripatti provides a pool of endless depth into which you may penetrate -- thus discovering a swarming amalgamation of previously dissonant sonic ephemera, all coalescing to form a perfect musical entity.

Fun Years, The - Baby, It's Cold Inside - 29-Oct-08 10:37 PM
Needless to say, this has been done before. In countless forms and utilizing countless methods, this has been done before, needless to say.

Needless to say, indeed. For this is an album -- whose sounds contained within, despite existing previously in different guises, created by different artists -- has successfully embraced the contradiction between the disintegrating past and the slightly flourishing future.

Many Sound-artists have mastered the practise of playing aging records in order to achieve an ambiguous sense of understanding of the future and nourishing an undefined and romanticised understanding of the days of yore.

The Fun Years understand these aforementioned issues. They're aware ... they create ... Yes, the crescendos are there, the granular accumulation of tiny sounds, the slowly paced progression of one organically rendered piece into the next ... It's all here.

But with their mastery of sound comes a unyielding presence of the intrigue of the unknown.

After becoming disappointed by Philip Jeck's Touch albums (I find them too drawling, sonically inconsistent and inconclusive) this album, "Baby It's Cold Outside" is a refreshing approach to Sound-art and the artistic statement in general.

Gregg Kowalsky - Through The Cardial Window - 18-Oct-08 09:25 PM
This is a masterful post-ambient album. There are depths of intermingling sound layers and coexisting harmonies and overtones. This is very organic music. Music that fluctuates within its presence, accepting variations and perceptions. Rarely is an album released that so clearly relates to the philosophical, elusive and metaphysical qualities of life and the forgotten natural world.

This album is dense, humid and teeming with miniature epiphanies, coinciding itself with all that is real and non-stagnant.

múm - Loksins Erum Við Engin - 17-Jun-08 10:44 PM
We all know how wonderful, masterfully constructed, elusive, personable and meticulous this music is. But with this release, "Loksins Erum Við Engin", one may hear the sisters singing in their own language and thus intertwined with more genuine emotions and intentions. After having the English version for so many years, it was immensely important to listen to the original, first (?) Icelandic version. However, I believe it's now sold out.

Múm also doesn't make music quite like this anymore, which is a shame.
