ONE INCH OF SHADOW – The
Birthday Of Angels And Mannequins (CD 2002)
(Perun
www.terra.pl/perun )
After
some self-released CD-Rs, „The Birthday Of Angels And Mannequins“ is the
first „official“ CD album of Polands ONE INCH OF SHADOW. Even if the band is
not very well-known yet, I am sure, they will find a lot of interested
people with this CD. If you are into Ambient-Ethereal and very minimalstic
music, you are absolutely right here. I feel remembered on bands/projects
like Cindytalk and This Mortal Coil or a mixture of typical elements of
bands from World Serpent and Factory Records. You should listen to this CD
in a calm atmosphere with candlelight and maybe a snowy landscape outside.
One of my favourite tracks on this album is the piano-based „Mannequin
Song“, which reminds me on some late Rozz Williams tracks or 4 AD stuff like
Pieter Nooten and others.
There are also some
experimental tunes, which make the whole album very flexible, but all in all
it is very relaxing. The artwork is very loveable, too, you can choose
between 4 different front covers! (A.P.) |
