Ruelle creaks Chroniques de
vampires, Vourdalaks et autres non-morts into life before drones build into
melodies that pace across the work until a synth pattern evolves to form a
futuristic piece of music that plays through beautifully. A more ambient
passage of sound with drones thrown across it forms Cynthia. Eventually melody
sprinkles across it, the combined elements are more abstract than the previous
track. Skull is a more sinister, slow dungeon passage of organ like
synthesiser. Pulsing beat and
electronics form a Mirage, it darkens as the melody arrives, everything seems
controlled by the intensity of the beat as it changes. Jeux d’enfants uses a jollier
pattern of electronics and beat to make a luscious piece of pop instrumental
music. Le Pouvoir initially sounds sinister in line with the previous tracks
but has a lighter melody and use of noise that is sunnier. As the synth melody
begins to play the sound just erupts beauty.
Sombre Resurrection returns to
the twilight zone of moody melody as if serving as the prelude to bad events in
a horror film. Retour Chex les Vourdalaks proves that there was nothing to
worry about, sophisticated layers of melody and rhythm demonstrate golden
brilliance. Devenir un dieu shifts things as if serving as a sullen intro to
the darkness of Nous sommes une legende – the darker side of SONA NYL is still
as rich and complex as its lighter side. Introspective piano and deep organ
melody are Elzbieta which leads to the outro Quand le monde s’agenoullera
devant toi.
This is a beautiful recording that
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing. A pleasure to review.
