ANTLERS MULM - 'Of Withered Sparks' CD (Loki Foundation)
The third album of Antlers Mulm opts for deep resonating tones that are harmonious and hypnotic with a greater emphasis on percussion, and the massive foray into song based structures. Dark beats linked with electro-pop vibes bring highlights of an extraordinary world of sound. Phantasmagorial melodies melt into an intense atmosphere guided by the voice of Hans Johm. These 10 songs catch the mood of the warm feeling of being at home and create a landscape of a coruscant kingdom that lies deep within the lyrical and musical expression. Digipak with booklet.
FJERNLYS - 'Ascending Triads & Luminous Arcs’ 2 x CD (Loki Foundation)
Behind this project hides one of Inade's masterminds - Knut Enderlein. On this first disc, the songs layer cosmic and synthetic sounds and go on tracing according to the principle harmony in the music, their acoustic space feeling very expansive. The voices creep crosswise into sounds and effects to lunar spheres and solar places. The five remixes and interpretations of ANTLERS MULM, BAD SECTOR, FIRST LAW and LOVESPELL on the second disc support the complex character of the whole release and expand the into a new style of Ambient songs. More 'song' based than Inade, Fjernlys reminds of fellow Loki act Predominance. Presented in a double jewel case with a very nice slipcase to finish.
