ERDLICHT - Urlicht: Erster Kreis


Also available here, for 10,- € + postage!

"..."Mittnachtsros´ 1" is a heavily synthesized anthemic / nationalistic / militaristic piece. Think (early) Laibach. "Mittnachtsros´ 2" is more minimalistic with a random sequenced frequency creating a rhythm with a harmonious drone. This track builds and drifts and had me thinking (to myself) "This is bloody good music"! "Ertstes Licht" is organ drone is soundtrack music. Points of reference: Philip Glass, Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter..they are all in there. "Die Wilde Jagd" carries on in the same vein, with some excellent looped acoustic guitar coming in the mix...reminded me of Nocturnal Emissions "Stoneface" recordings...." DIETER MÜH

"Hard to describe this one, but then, that seems to be the case with a lot of UFA releases - part drone, part experimental, with some martial elements, some ritual stylings, and why not, some field recordings too. Sounds like a mess, but trust me, it's not. In fact, it feels quite coherent and linear, even as it moves through varied terrain.. " MALIGNANT MAILORDER
