Predicate 'particularly valuable'

'Drilling and the Club of Gore': what a band name! For many years I believed that a disharmonious noisy Industrial-punk band or something would hide behind in this direction. 'Error', said the hedgehog, rising from the brush!

However, the quartet from Mülheim played an der Ruhr in the first years of its existence since 1988, according to the Wikipedia entry is actually 'a mix of metal and hardcore' (whatever the latter should be), but at some point they changed their musical direction downright radical and Now known as a master of melancholy slowness for quite some time.

That means: piano, synthesizer, acoustic bass, drums and to in medically healthy dose slightly hoarse trötendes baritone and tenor saxophone to give a rendezvous to create a blown-melodic atmosphere that is unparalleled.

The cover artwork, the album title and the names of about eight minutes on average pieces of Black Earth seem to summon suicide absolute darkness, perhaps even a kind of musical accompaniment. But this is not so! Rather already here a while autumnal misty, but also Weltschmerz-soothing, so relaxing miraculously effect.

The spacey synthesizers could come from Tangerine Dream, the piano sounds reminiscent occasionally to John Paul Jones 'wonderful game in Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" of Houses of the Holy (you just waiting that Robert Plant raises equal to sing:' Close the doors , put out the light / You know they will not be home tonight / The Snow Falls hard, and do not you know / The Winds of Thor are blowing cold '), the drums spread serene patience, and the saxophone is the easy jazzy background for nighttime rides through neon-lit city streets.

You can hear on any occasion the disc actually: very focused on good red wine, as the background of profound conversations and reading good novels or to chill ends enjoyment while driving. The sound is the way to each facility of enormous depth and clarity.

In short, this album deserves in all respects the title 'particularly valuable'.
