A good throw, we stay tuned.

Distant Satellites is a good album, the New Art Rock, Psychedelic rock but quite well served Progressive rock friends. The stylistic key feature is, as already described, to repeat a subject to vary in sound and to arrange increasingly tight. I myself can start with the innovative titles 7-10 less; if I want to hear electronic bubbling, I reach for still one of the High Llamas.

Lost Song, Part I
Worn beginning with synth strings goes into a syncopated rhythm (it's probably actually 4/4, although it sounds like something else.) The duet song, however, is slow and also worn. The package is then aufgestackt something by a piano ostinato figure, the title picks up speed and intensity. After a middle section now finally come the guitars, everything is still a little louder mixed and therefore more powerful, the drummer is everything and zerkloppt his pelvis, the bombast factor is taken full account. At the dramatic climax take back the strings from the beginning, the title comes to rest. A perfect tension. The vocals by Vince Cavanagh in the last third reminds me of the charismatic Midge Ure Ultravox (Vienna)! Not later than the third hearing (in a row!) Then sets the suggestive power of a fully. 5/5

Lost Song, Part II
A quiet start, then the progressive increase. This shows again that Lee Douglas is an excellent singer who Anathema albums with her are clearly better than the rest. Pop haters despise this song because of the bombastic strings, but it's just a ballad. Reminds in the atmosphere strongly Untouchable Pt II by Weather System, also this title has a beautiful melody. 5/5

Dusk (Dark is Descending)
Again a beautiful duet, full of atmosphere and an interesting rhythm. New style skirt, of a little goes toward pop music. 4/5

Ariel
Begins as a US piano ballad, is expected at any moment to hear the voice of Barry Manilow, but then there is that of Lee Douglas. Here Anathema show once again that they are masters in the drafting of beautiful and catchy melodies. The dramatic tension and the arrangement with fat string Layer and guitars is as usual. Friends of bombast and pathos, to which I absolutely count myself, will get their costs. 5/5

Lost Song, Part II
Vince Cavanagh first sings this song with the intricate rhythms. Later, Lee is entering. I can not help myself - something reminds me of the first third of Fleetwood Mac, though the typical Anathema magic is omnipresent. Then is added again and reached all increases to the incredible final chord. 5/5

Anathema
A somewhat indecisive piano gimmick at the beginning - the self-titled (as they say) Track 6 drops somewhat, but "The Lost Song" has raised the bar, too highly placed quite in all three parts. What remains are bombastic and melancholy. 3/5

You're Not Nlone
No cover of the SAGA-title (which is unequaled). A few airy piano chords, then a voice speaking and the pool. Following the approach geschaffte remainder is connected to Roland TR 707 drum machines and funky at the same time. Quite innovative, but not my shelf. 2.5 / 5

Firelight
Now that's sacred! I listen to the 3rd Advent again by candlelight on, whereupon I will plunge into a sonambule Christmas spirit. 3/5

Distant Satellites
The longest track on the CD. Worn and somehow despite all underestimated Roland drum machine that definitely abwummern "distant". The itinerary begins in the space shuttle. More reminiscent of Ultravox 'New Wave than New Art Rock. 3.5 / 5

Take Shelter
Yo! A title goes. It remains solemnly and worn. And the CD player is not broke! Even the non-MP3 player. At most of the decrepit TR-707 production genius. But I guess that is like that. This title, which is recovering after about 3 minutes a little, but no one really needs, we also know as strings sound. 2/5

Conclusion: For friends of Weather Systems, the purchase is worth already Song Trilogy solely because of the ingenious Lost.
