THE REVIEW

Well, someone has to decide to talk about this product, ambient, electro, neo folk. Thus, gingerly and timidly, I force myself to put down some words, hoping they will encourage you to listen and reflect. It is truly worth praising these promising young Polish artists. Indeed, it is.

Starting from the autumn of 1997 to the autumn of 2003, in Brudenia, they composed (personal projects permitting) this work. An album that is demanding in duration but speaks a simple language (around 70 min. with one track at 20 min.), it will surprisingly nail you to your seat and make you forget everything that was on your mind five minutes ago. It will sneak into your auditory pathways and first whisper as an anesthetic of folk from a modern medieval era, then make you feel capable of freeing your mind, lightening the body's weight, as you are drawn into this gentle electronic journey with softly melancholic shades where sublime female voices carve out these timeless, ethereal, enchanted backgrounds, hanging by the thread of electronic sounds that trap our faculties, now willing to accept anything.

So much so that when this nourishment ends and the last track flies away like an elusive apocalyptic butterfly with steel claws, you feel a bit uneasy as if you were forcefully brought back to reality, from a state of being a sleepwalker. Well, in this case, you just need to press play it again Sam, and perhaps our world will reopen.
I invite you to listen to it and would greatly appreciate knowing your thoughts on it. I'm completely infatuated with it.
