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.
FJERNLYS - 'Beyond The Undulant Quiescence' CD (Loki Foundation)
Fjernlys is Knut Enderlein (INADE). This album contains 10 epic tracks to reach far beyond trepidation and tranquility, it's not only welcoming with open arms but captivating slowly the listener and remaining breathless till the last sound. "Beyond The Undulant Quiescence" unifies the opposites when the frostiness of the synthesizer sound and the warmth of the melodies are melting one another. The spectrum ranges from melancholic piano compositions to complex and superior song structures with an open commitment to slow motion. In every track there is a cryptic sparkling which is always shimmering but almost stays in the background. It's the multi-layered arrangement in each track which is constantly changing the colours and feature a cinematic coarseness in an audible way. 6-panel digisleeve.
