It's strange that I had "The color of snow" probably rejected exactly one year earlier due to my music dogma from scratch. As luck would have it I "alone, alone" for the first time in exactly the correct place belongs exactly the right time (in early August on the car radio). It is what in sustainable and good music very rare for me is the case, immediately got to me. I recognized neither the hymn potential, yet I was a fan of electronic music supported, nor did I know anything about the band, let alone on the previous album. In spite of everything for me was immediately clear that I would buy myself the accompanying album and did so then a little later. Now that I have "The color of snow" certainly through part of the 30 times, I can safely proclaim that since "Toxicity" by SOAD no album so inspired me, none more so affected me and none more so taken with me has like this. The opener Tourist takes a shine with a trip back to the carefree childhood, their memories and feelings seemed so far away, to be just in these times again so close. This melancholy The color of snow, Happy Go Lucky or River Loves The Ocean triggers in me, I felt no more in this form for a long time. Although almost all the songs carry a gloomy, cold and depressive tone in itself, the Life-affirming is worn like a floating above all angels (called Felix predators) through the entire album.
2008 will go down as one of the most important years in the history of my life, it's damn much happened. This album has accompanied me during this time and will probably include even in years or decades of my favorite albums to me then, so is it now times with music, always to remember that time. I know that already.
Thanks to the Arctic Circle 18 for this fantastic music.
