History from Below (Audio CD)

Customer Review

If you wanted to describe "History From Below" with 3 words, it would amount to "uramerikanisch in the best sense". Ok, that's more than 3 words)

Delta Spirit called the guys from sunny San Diego, and their second album just sounds too: the sun and the Americas.

The first two songs can still suspect here it were only to West Coast Rock, but the following "Salt In The Wound" suggests a new direction when it showered the listener with a tub full of self-pity and wine aficionados:

Chains - are they really there? / Is this just in my head? / Well I'll just stay in bed

But even before the ceiling can pull over your head before Leuter frustration, brings "White Table" a bounce back. The first highlight of the album, and an addictive without equal. The song lurches so so in a mesmerizing rhythm gradezu through ups and downs throughout that it is a real pleasure. Bmerkenswert also that this 2 drums are used at the same time, a drummer alone would not achieve the effect.

Next stings "Devil Knows You're Dead" out - perhaps radiotauglichste song on the album: wonderfully melodic, only the slightly rebellious drums ensures that it is not too good. And with "Golden State" follows immediately the next highlight and a real upbeat Bonbon: straightforward but not banal, fast but not rushed, with a rousing feel-good factor.

But the big throw cancel each other for the final Delta Spirit and show that they - unlike many of her compatriots - look beyond the borders of their home addition. The harmless incipient "Ballad Of Vitaly" hiding its disturbing content initially behind pubs atmosphere of acoustic guitar and light geknödeltem Blues, but after a few bars, a threatening undertone starts very quietly in the innocent ballad creep. And at the latest when unexpectedly gets going in the middle of the song the whole range of instruments with full force, you know, here it is probably not a sunset over the prairie. Delta Spirit have as a theme for the closing song actually picked out the human drama, which took place in 2002 near the Lake Constance, which in one of the most serious air crashes in recent years 71 people were killed. Less than 2 years later, another victim, namely the responsible for the disaster evening air traffic controller, who was executed by the very downright praised Vitaly in an act of revenge. From that murder is the song of the unspeakable pain of losing those he loved, and the subsequent realization that revenge does not heal wounds.

Now that damn swissman crashed them into a plane / I will find where he lives / Speak to his face with the blood in my eyes / He wants to see my pain

Tragic story in an outstanding song packed - Respect !!

All in all an album that was snatched by the third pass a permanent place in my players and for further 20 runs still shows no signs of wear. Not least, this is due to the voice of the charismatic singer Matthew Vasquez, which visually thankfully not nearly as much drinking experience radiates, like the voice would suggest.
