Thelema — Eldur Og Is
It’s packaged in a wonderful plush 7” full colour 16 page booklet featuring pictures of Iceland beautiful landscape. There’s little of Sturmpercht alpine folk traces here, one track briefly slips into happy-go-luck accordion pump, but for the most part this is moody and evocative soundtrack music. It aptly mangers to paint varying musical and atmospheric air, though it does hover more in the darker, ancient and unknown air. The three longer tracks tend more towards streached out drone/electronics soundworlds with traces of guitar and envoirmetal elements, having quite a mean and moody air about them. Where the remaining four shorter tracks are more playful and often quite cheesy with their uses retro keyboards and disco like electronics.
An odd mix of darker atmospherics and quirkiness that somehow mangers to balance the two very convincingly and managers to be rewarding on many levels.
