Andreas Brandal - Shipwrecks (MC, Licht & Stahl)
This Mc starts with the sound
of someone cleaning his hobby room. Scratchy noises, a dove coos in the
back and a fine drony melody, that is joined by a darker, deeper soundlayer.
But then the sound turns more the way the title purpots: deep dieses engine
rhytms, slightly distorted braking of waves, signal horns... We're on
sea. Then it get's a little more quiet, sounds like on a sailing ship,
still the waves break and the sound of horns is all around.
On side two of this MC the sea gets a little rougher, it sounds like if
we're entered Arctic sea - illustrrated by cold and slowly rolling drones.
Then the mood changes to more bright born by a exotic melody loop. After
a while it turns back to sea noises added by metal objects sounds like
on a building site. At the end a easy guitar loop is added to a light
drone and some moody samples in the background.
All together a nice, more quiet album full of skilfully pimped up Drone
Ambient.
