What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

I'm still reeling from  the beautiful strains of the Sylvain Chauveau CD last week, (more of that in VERY soon!) I'm now treated to further adventures into the realms of neo-classicism courtesy of Eluvium on the fab-tastic Temporary Residence label. Beautiful, melodic set piano pieces. Just piano. And really, you don't need anything else for this is simple, heartfelt & SO pretty. Absolute bliss = a simply lovely CD. Class.

What the label says:

Working with a limited palette of guitars and piano, Eluvium dropped Lambent Material, a masterpiece of aquatic drones and fractured neoclassical compositions, in 2003. He followed it a year later with a brief album of solo piano suites that turned everyone's expectations upside-down. Not quite classical and certainly not ambient in the common sense, An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death garnered the kind of jaw-dropping acclaim that typically overlooks like-minded minimalist artists. This was a breath of fresh air for Cooper, allowing him to dive deeper than ever before. Beneath the cold water glow, Talk Amongst the Trees is a soundtrack for exploring the surface of your own ocean, slow moving like the sand that runs through your fingers, and incandescent like the most unique creatures of the sea. Lacking most recognizable instrumentation (save the guitar mantra, "Taken"), Talk Amongst the Trees is an album that exists in its own fantastic landscape. Making no attempt to compete with the world outside, it drags you inside your own subconscious, allowing sentimental thoughts and memories to pile up on themselves. As the hour-long journey progresses, details fall away until nothing remains but a warm, colorless - but intimately personal - abyss. We're not sure how he does it, but once again Eluvium creates a new and beautiful feeling.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
