What you say No-one has reviewed Kondens by Erik Levander yet. Give us your opinion on Kondens by Erik Levander. What we say This record left our Ant feeling happy. Hey the other day a hedgehog came up to me in my back garden. It was the closest I have ever been to a hedgehog in my life. It was a very special time... I digress and am going to write some words about Erik Levander's 'Kondens' CD on Rumraket. He's got everything but the kitchen sink in here: Computers, guitars, clarinet, oud, voice, harmonica, harmonium, vibraphone, tape recorder, radios, saw (!), function generator, piano and percussion. If that all sounds a bit hectic then actually it's the opposite. each tool is used sparsely, just enough to say what it needs to. It actually sounds really intriguing. Everything is kind of glitched up so to speak. The mood is a little dark but there are pretty sounds too. Interesting stuff. What the label says: Erik Levander is from Sweden and is a dark romantic with a knack for abstract electronica and beautiful moving melodies. Efterklang/Rumraket met Erik Levander at the wonderful Forma Nova Festival backin 2005. Since then he has guested on several Efterklang recordings, among them the latest Parades album. Erik Levander makes majestic and tender themes, which he heavily confronts with his passion for noise, classical, traditional and impro music. With the help of his computer he forms all of it into one big detailed and roaring murmur of electronica, romantic melodies, discordia, eccentric beauty and gripping drama.

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.
