December's Fire - Vae Victis

2007-04-20 / Nihil / Reads: 6340

It’s one of those albums that are so hard to classify. It combines so many elements, sometimes extremely different, it makes me wonder if there’s a proper name for such music genre. This short, 36 minute album begins in a typically ambient style, calm and quiet. Surely nothing...

Decoded Feedback – DisKonnekt

2012-10-26 / Fairycharlotte / Reads: 3445

Decoded Feedback is one of my favourite bands, even though I am a bit selective as far as their work is concerned. I perceive their style, described by the artists themselves as dark electro-industrial, as really moving, quite unique and one of its kind. In their music, I love the...

A compository trance dosing the listener merges with delicate female singing or vocalization, entwined with Gregorian and Indian children (?) choirs. As usual, Delerium's music is enriched with sounds of...

Delerium - Nuages du monde

Almost a decade after the great "Karma" Rhys Fulber & Bill Leeb release another album similar to "Chimera" (2003). We're getting less and less of the old Delerium. "Nuages du monde" is a pleasant listening, being charmingly trance-ambient. But it does not carry you. It lacks the atmosphere...
