LA RECENSIONE
Germany 2012, Christian Loffler, a young techno-ambient DJ and musician, debuts with this album containing 12 tracks of pure melodic intensity; so refined and full of never banal environmental hues, that at every turn it awakens the senses and surprises with the creativity of the performances.
The electronics are of a classic mold, but with a very personal expressive power, enriching the album with a continual aesthetic search.
The music, never overpowering, guides the listener through a dream of almost seventy minutes, suspended, never losing altitude, towards the most remote corners of this forest.
The forest, captured in a dream, as a metaphor for life, our silent march into that unconscious that gets lost among fears, hopes, anxieties, happiness.
The forest refers us back to a world of our self, which does not want to be revealed, where we again find sensations, colors, smells that each time we thought were lost.
And upon awakening, we remember every moment lived in this place, every color perceived, every essence breathed.
A wonderful album; among the best in the genre released in 2012 that I have listened to. The most evocative tracks: "The Forest", "Pale Skin", "Ash & Snow", "Blind", "Eisberg"
To some, it may seem late to review a record five years after its release, but considering that, after the review of Black Stardust, it did not receive the deserved visibility on the site in May 2013, I would like to give my contribution.

By Black Stardust
His music is basically melancholic and also frighteningly impalpable and dreamy.
The Forest is exactly a forest. Of sounds, of sensations. Of suspended emotions.
