There is music that serves the entertainment and pastime and there's music - sometimes and very rarely - that is art. have what dredg on their second studio album created, is undoubtedly one of the last category and is from a musical point only with the grandiose act of bands like Tool to put on an equal footing, which normally see about all sublime. El Cielo is a masterpiece of deep emotion and atmosphere, full of music that leads inward - there where the soul is touched the most. so dense, complex and interwoven with musical nuances and subtleties, wins this album even after the umpteenth time to hear beauty. actually you know already the opener "Same Ol 'Road", with what overwhelming album you have to do it. and yet until all 16 songs, brushstroke-between games and word fragments give a coherent picture in which each blob in place sits. most of the tracks on this record live refined, intricate rhythms (such as the off-beat wonderfully opposite in "18 people living in harmony") and of the interwoven in the background carpets of sounds and strange noises and the song structure her ornate, without up losing in the details. Dredg kidnap. in the sky or whatever you mean by that. over their cloud is not the freedom limitless, but the anxiety. with spiritual, almost sacred power they complain of disappointment, loss and emptiness. "The opera is over / The Singers have all gone home / seats are all empty." remained are dredg and a glimmer of hope: "Notes are silent / but music's quiet apparent." it is there, the outer silence that inwardly stirs so. and yet an incredible beauty revealed: "Sympathy unfolds the shell / that holds all the beauty within." but the remains of a happy ending: "The Canyon Behind Her" is the inner turmoil is again painfully aware. "Though half of me is gone / The Lonesome part is there." the personality is split, and when you last time hear these choirs, one is completely beside herself. in the middle of another, overwhelming world.
