Coma in this particular case is simply a lingering death. Popular culture have formulated dozens of theories about what man's mind is presumably experiencing in that state. Light at the end of the tunnel, observing one's dying flesh from the outside or wanderings across vast, half oneiric realms... Emanuele Ratti on the fourth, recent Aethere's album offers her comapionship on such a journey. In Coma is a homage paid to Marco Corbelli, who passed two years earlier. The music is a sombre, unsettling procession of wraiths to a rendezvous with death.
Incessantly present hummings of a cardiplumonary bypass and rhytmically throbbing EKG constitute the only tactile point in this nebulous world of agony. Like Virgil showing Dante around Hell they stand vigillant over the moribund trying to sustain his spirit inside a fading body. Only the last composition brings redemption.
Alltogether with the patient we plunge into the abyss of uncounscious. Dominated by screams of suffering, abberant sounds of unknown origin and mourns of resignation joined by craving for death. Whole life flashes before eyes, a fleeting glimpse of the last moments of earthly existence. Or maybe the wraiths of the past are teasing with the moribund? Maybe the pealing of bells at the beginning and the end failed to keep the evil spirits away?
It's definitely not an easy album to listen on the bus on a beautiful, sunny day. Each song is infused with anxious anticipation of agony while the atmosphere is getting thicker gradually. The boundry between life and death cracks. We look beyond the shroud letting lurid visions to carry us away. Definitely it is an experience worth recommendation to all fans of fatalistic, dark ambient sounds.
Tracklist:
01 Part I
02 Part II
03 Part III
04 Part IV
05 Part V
06 I Am Fucking Dead (A Tribute To Marco Corbelli)
