Latitudes/Southern Rec.distr. Ginnungagap : Remeindre (UK,2005)***
Limited 4 track CD from Ginnungagap featuring members of Sunn O))), Khanate, Jackie-O and Dukes of Nothing
There’s a growing tendency of simplicity in experimental folk, where musicians make it easy for them. Also here is created music out of a nice harmonic droning pulse, tampura-like, with 3 notes over and over again, with some minimal variation in the evolution. Never the less the execution works well and this makes it a fine album to listen to. I feel obliged to say that unless this one worked, please don’t repeat the concept !
PS. Today in a shop people were trying to sell me some more droney folk music, where everything in earlier days was inspiration felt apart to nonsense and nothing. Nobody wonders how far we can go, but here I still wished more people will go back to more concentrated sound creativity and fundament.
