Delerium - Karma

2007-01-20 / apeiron / Reads: 6001

MS Word automatically corrects the band's name to "Delirium". This procedure is a hint at the atmosphere of this album. 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...

Lingua Fungi - Flowery Dreams

2007-01-18 / apeiron / Reads: 4564

I wouldn't recommend listening to this CD in a far-from-euphoria state. The title "Flowery Dream", although sounding very positive, is far from musical happiness and moody lucidity. Sadness and happiness are joined on it by an inseparable dance. It consists of medieval and oriental (or maybe native American)...

The seventh track on the reissued version is "Construct" substituting "Delusion". Additionally, we...

Cybercide - Adrenalin

Vagueness - this word fits best as a description of Cybercide's debut album. Starting from the cover art, suggesting that the disc holds nothing else, but antivirus software, finishing with the last track on the album, "Adrenaline", which sounds like an absolutely recycled track. Nine future-pop tracks from this album...

Already knowing the achievements of the Polish project Rukkanor, I was delighted to sit down and enjoy their latest release, totally sure that I am going to experience another perfect album full of heavy, industrial atmosphere. Was I surprised or what? And I mean suprised in a very positive way,...
