Also what be on the same label be a new CD by Eluvium. The last album
by this popular beat combo flew out of the towers like nazi costumes at a royal
fancy dress party. Great! I seem to remember his album being more piano based.
His new 'un is more electronic but it's still maximum floaty aural soundscape
lushness which you'd probably expect. After a hard week at work sit back with a
big brew, a bottle of wine, some vodka, a 4 pack of lager and some orange juice
as well to freshen the palette and chill out to the sublime mellowness on offer
here. Maybe some crisps too....... An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death by Eluvium is CD only
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Returning exactly one year after dropping one of the most consistently gorgeous ambient rock records of the last decade with 2003's Lambent Material, Eluvium's Matthew Cooper follows it up with, well, one of the most consistently gorgeous neoclassical records of the last quarter century. An entire album of haunting, intimate suites for solo piano, this album is perhaps even more emotionally gripping than his previous acclaimed work. Recorded in less than two hours using only one microphone and no overdubs, it is completely live, with no editing, mixing, mastering or post-production of any kind on the recording. It is this sparse, naked beauty that makes this record so breathtaking and so addictive. Well, that... and the totally mind-blowing artwork.
