Long ago it when the Sweden's latest work for the first time in the dark pit of my CD player disappeared to convey a smorgasbord of musical ideas, gimmicks and auditory pleasures in a dreary world of Allerweltsmusik. You will quickly notice that I'm extremely positive the latest compositions opposite. And I want to break a lance for this. For this I must first respond to some criticisms that hit so many PoS gourmet bitter to the stomach. For example, the number of spoken passages, about 20min. Subtracting the but by the total playing time of the CD from (up 70 minutes), then stay another 50 minutes of music. And have it all. Furthermore, asks the prog metal fury: Where is the Prog, where the metal? Good question, but where does it say that it is a prog-metal album? I see on the cover, only the name of the band in front of a simple "be". Where Pain of Salvation is on it, as well as Pain of Salvation's in it. No more, please, ladies and gentlemen, no less! And what is on this album, leaving a flick his tongue in delight. Here a feast is served, where you can eat with relish sick. Anyone who enters into the journey, invite to the PoS, the bypasses Classic, makes a short trip to the jazz and musicals, is surprised by a gospel choir and an organ playing, smiles beyond the typical POS elements and rejoices if the drama and composition. And not only the musicians are served delicacies. Even the philosopher is required. So Gildenlöw has prepared a list of secondary literature, by means of which one may be venturing into fractal theory or look up some mythical genesis. As the self-proclaimed Socrates the water runs along the hemlock. But let's look at the menu "Chinassiah" but once. Animae_Partus Silence. Breathe. As a recalled into life sucks / speakers the air one, she lets out in a torrent of verbal self-reflection, accompanied by muffled heartbeats. Deus_Nova The orchestra introduces a piece of music, which culminates in a wild musical carnage with the band. While the flutes try to bring order out of chaos, and remain obediently in time, the guitars seem entirely directed against the clock. In the increasing world population is listed laconically. Imago Flutes and guitar, reminiscent of folk music rhythms and heavy drumming. What was indicated by chain Ling, is perfected here. We are drawn to an annual cycle, how could describe him beautiful Vivaldi not. Each instrument controls a little more at about the size of the song. Pluvius_Aestivus An indicated by samples Rain will be set to music by Fredrik Hermansson congenial. Even if the piece anmutet melancholic, here is to find so much beauty and musical devotion that you want to cry with joy. Lilium_Cruentus You can hear the "wah-wah" guitar, the hum of the bass and play the oboe, to us pushes the hammering of the drums almost in the song into Gildenlöw speaks with intonation loose, cool voice -.. It's about death, but then resounds his singing, contorted in pain and very emotionally until he can break out his anger in magnificent Staccato and forwards in the chorus, accompanied by cutting flutes and violins, until the finale, which is gigantic increase in intensity. Nauticus Deliberately hums's from the speakers when deep bass sound. It is prayed, and involuntary associations are awakened to the birth of the blues and gospel music. In this melancholy is pleading cries mix for redemption. The dreary mood follows a vulgar conversation between Mr Money and Miss Mediocrity. Dea_Pecuniae Jazzy's will, with Major chords and some Blue Note. The song could come from a musical, it has drama, humor and a great sound. The song is really fun, not only because of the lyrics, but also because of the playfulness of band and orchestra. Vocari_Dei An instrumental accompanies messages on an answering machine. Emotions, devoid of kitsch and triviality are presented with a beautiful guitar solo. One can almost imagine the sad smile of God who can not intervene in some misery of this world. Diffidentia A herausgespieene curse of God is taken up by a distorted guitar sound and a slow rhythm. And then is heard spheres way, accompanied by the piano, a voice, hurt and helpless that it wants a tear the heart. If there is something that Pain of Salvation on "BE" capitalize, then there are emotions - like here. Nihil_Morari The hardness of the last song is taken up again. Nihil Morari is pure goosebumps, always accompanied by the polyrhythmic interplay between orchestra and band. Latericius_Valete The verdict is: genocide. The drums illustrates the ticking of a clock, piano and guitar are added, finally, the orchestra, the piece builds up inexorably, then stops - a laconic voice proclaims a population density of ridiculous 1,200,000,000 people - and discharges in a dramatic final Furioso , Omni You will hear an organ, illustrating the travel of a probe into dissonance and constant construction. The piece seems to find no target, the harmonies back from their vacation destination, suspensions are installed and not dissolved, as if this piece also on the trip. Perfect musical interpretation. Iter_Impius Following is one of the highlights of the album. What Gildenlöw creates honest feelings in his voice, "going to the heart" in a word ... That was more than a word, but for this compositional tour de force of Fredrik go one of the superlatives. Very, very great music. Martius / Nauticus (II) The song uses known motifs and forms a worthy conclusion. "Ode to Joy" You could call what is heard here, because what music Gildenlöw and company dress the joy of creation, life and all the rest, is itself a joy. Animae_Partus (II) "I am". I could not and would not go into the philosophical content of the concept in this review. "BE" is not easy to digest, and it is not easy to go from the street of the remedy on the philosophical paths of existence. But if you take the time to deal intensively with the concept, then you come across a Fundus musical beauty and finesse that gets well I do not know which number turn the CD completed in my Player -. my stomach anyway has never flipped while listening.
