i hadnt picked anything in øjeRum's huge discography in a long time ( last time was on Opal Tapes i think ) and this is not disappointing : 2 beautiful long tracks, very well crafted, not minimal at all !
what a nice surprise ! upon first hearing i was caught by the melodic and arpeggiation approach, with the synthetic or sampled voices, which have a slightly nostalgic feeling - then i realised it was another of Amédée's project, whose work is always interesting. I was on trip recently and i played this a few times, along Avventur "2020-2021" and Raymonde ( forgot the name, but on Vlek i think ) : perfect matches. musique pour la route.
wow. i've only scratched the surface of this compilation, but it delivers. Starting with Beyt-Al-Tapes, i hadnt heard since "Zimbabwe", wonderful opening, full of plops, hiss, overtones... un compilation à déguster en prenant son temps !
here is a single that makes me impatient to hear some more. beautiful etheral chords, very well thought out composition, with a generous but well dosed reverb.
impressive : so before Nonplace, Drome and all his more recent records, Burnt Friedman was already doing music that was of as good quality ! looking forward to the other volumes ;) also recommended are Drome Anthology 1 & 2 !
