My recent “discovery”
Poordream – Ninetynine was released a week ago. I was bored, so I decided to
visit some music label’s sites and, by chance, found it in the Tympanik Audio
website. Wasn’t expecting much and boy, how wrong I was.
The album opens
with “Despair”. Is it despair really? The piano part is sad indeed, but the
rest not so much. I would say that the end of the track evokes something
opposite of despair, that is, hope. Nevertheless great opening track. The
samples used in “Urbanies” makes us imagine an urban scenery, but they don’t
appear through the whole song so that scenery is lost in the middle (maybe it
was intended). “Bangla Razor”, on the other hand, makes us think about India,
thanks to the bass sequence that is followed by the singing of some Indian
folk. “Ninetynine” is a cinematic piece which uses recordings of instruments
such as: cello, violin and a classical guitar. “Open Probability” is the only
track of the album with vocals it in, they sound authentic and are very
atmospheric. In “Backbiter” we find an electronic beat accompanied by cello/violin
parts, from the fourth minute the track speeds up and introduces an Australian instrument
rarely used in electronic music, digiridoo (at least I think that it is
digiridoo). “Flying Blind” is my personal favorite. It really makes you feel
like you are flying over the mundane things and I presume our lovely Schopenhauer
would be satisfied with it.
