1. General For the fans of World Music
This is the all-best record in the field of world music at all, which has been released so far for me. If the album will be launched and you start to hear and eyes includes one goes on a world tour and depending on what you or experienced in his past so what fate has gone through in life, so I have at least seen the album so.
Children of the Sun:
Here I experience really how my life running past me, my childhood, the meeting with my friends, dancing in the woods at barbecues where I grew up, the reunion of familiar faces, which I have long seen time nciht after several years I have lived abroad. I see my wife and I as we run purely in slow motion in the cathedral when we got married, the birth of our children, etc.
Anabasis and Agape:
The song starts running and you hear only times jungle noises and drifts lansam in Arab-inspired sounds. It is as if one were in a caravan there and with the Bedouins through desert at a sunset would be the palaces of the Thousand and One Nights.
Amnesia:
Leave the desert and embarks on a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope and then head to the west coast of Africa north to Gibraltar.
Kiko:
The first images while listening to this song that I had had, as I stride through by a huge gate and look like dancers in splendid robes dancing around the gardens and palaces of the Alhambra near Grananda around the wells. You can see the mountains of the Sierra downright Nevade in the background the Alhambra and it just evolves this enchanting mood.
Opium:
We leave the palaces of the Alhambra and move from the southern tip of Spain on the coasts of Portugal on the Normandie to the Britanie. By the stroke of the song, you can not even tell if you are traveling with a boat, or take him for true bird's eye view, flying over the sand dunes of the coast. (Here's an excursion into the world of "Lord of the Rings": While listening to the song, you can also see Aragorn as he Tirith on his horse in Minas Los rides to unite the nations against Sauron.)
Return of the She-King:
About the Britanie up in the Highlands of Scotland. It's like a walk through the Scottish highlands until you can look down into the valley on a mountain massif, and as one backward look over his shoulder, so you see the thousands of warriors, the warriors of einzelenn clans have gone off with an order in the fight to draw.
All in Good Time:
It is as if one of the last fight to be led was gerisssen out. Whether one here is still alive or not, is not really relevant. It has reached the end of its travel and is in the middle of his confidants. However, not only the faces that we know, but also who have long passed away.
Well, that was an excerpt as I experience this album. It was now describe very metaphor way and everyone will experience it in its own way. For me one of the best Albem of DCD that have come out without wanting now enumerate a sequence.
In summary: 5 stars
Review for the acoustics fans:
Many have here of too much reverb effects, written lack dynamics etc. I find the sound phenomenal, rarely heard what Besser. In fact, the disc has been taken at the highest dynamics eye level, but all instruments and sound effects are as chiseled in the room, you can locate everything perfect, consummate the Bewegeungen the musicians after. The stage is not only wide but also develops an enormous depth as one can rarely hear. There are several disks for example, bring an enormous dynamic range with it, but this has only once not to do with the sound quality when the instruments are not clean to come over and have taken eye falsified and none of the instruments can be located.
In summary: 4 stars. More dynamic would not have hurt
Recording itself:
That's the only important thing but unfortunately also attracts the overall review in the basement. I myself am a big fan of clean shots but I clearly much worse than find the missing Danamik and Nachverhallung the sounds are mistakes in the recording, speak very highly developed clicking sounds in many songs.
The best example of the song Opium: sec at off. 30 or from 50 sec in large noise in tweeters (more from the right channel). This can be heard both on the plate and on the CD so. On the USB stick with 24-bit resolution, it disturbs all the more. Only on the Download (mp3 with 320k / s) it is not so noticeable. The download is but the sound quality despite the 320kb / s and very bad here at all details are lacking. That the pops in the one will not be heard here, I can even comprehend.
There are quite a few more make the album where the receptacle is provided with cracking noises. This was at home so tested not only with me but also with a number of colleagues.
Summary: 0 stars actually, because something is not acceptable!
In the end I'd rather have given 3 stars, but it also sells something at the present time at 54, I give only 2 stars.
Music and rest has been rated 5 stars.
