Jeg var egentlig forberedt på at dette var feil forum for en plate i denne sjanger.
For meg har denne platen betydd mye, og jeg lytter til mye innen samme sjanger.
For enkelt å illustrere hva jeg selv mener, kopierer jeg like godt en anmeldelse som ligger hos Amazon. Dette kunne jeg ha skrevet selv:
"
This CD has completely disrupted my listening schedule. "Floratone" has such a haunting, intoxicating feel that I keep playing it over and over, trying to get a grip on the nuances of the music, but they constantly elude me. Just as the groove starts to take hold, a hypnotic glaze settles over me and my listening pattern shifts to a trance state. The music is lush and evocative, but impossible to grasp, even after repeated listenings.
"Floratone" pairs guitarist Bill Frisell with percussionist Matt Chamberlain, who tag team each other while creating instrumental soundscapes that somehow manage to sound both otherworldly and earthy. It is music that defies gravity, which is what makes it so compelling; how often can you say you're hearing something that is truly unique and different? Neither jazz nor pop, at least not in any traditional sense, "Floratone" creates atmospheres that accompany your mood, rather than define it. Tracks like "Mississippi Rising" and "The Passenger" are simultaneously funky and dreamy, sounding like some of the most brilliant tracks that Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois never made together, but should have. The moods never quite gel into anything tangible, providing a liquidity that avoids my ability to grasp it entirely, leaving me to describe it in terms of vague images instead of solid observations.
I listen to so much music on a daily basis that it is nearly impossible for me to hear something that I consider genuine and unique. Almost anything can be described as a combination of other things, but "Floratone" is different. As I said earlier, I've played this disk plenty of times, and I've played for anyone who cares to listen. Always, we find ourselves basking in its atmospherics, as it develops into an integral part of whatever else we were doing. It is not particularly demanding of the listener, but if you let it, "Floratone" will take you places you've never been. A Tom Ryan"
For meg er dette en 10!
