Search - Arovane :: Lilies

Good

"Slow melodies and a smattering of Japanese samples gives this idm-type of electronic music an ornate and lush feeling. Its like the instantaneous, present moment of a blossom falling in the middle of an urban park. I only wish the album were a bit longer."

Too Short, Too Sweet

"I'm more of a fan of Arovane's highly synthetic and beautifully fragile Icol Diston and Atol Scrap sound than the more organically pretty Tides and Lilies sound, although there is a touch of the former on this album. There are some decent tracks here but I'm ultimately a little disappointed by this effort, which is more pretty than it is artful. And man, I know it's a common and perhaps petty complaint, but where's the rest of the album? Some EPs are longer than this.



I want more art, Uwe."

Very Nice Electronica

"I count this alongside Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief" as the two best recordings I have purchased in the last five years. I LOVE Arovane, and this CD to me is his pinnacle performance. Atol Scrap is good too, but "Instant Gods Out of the Box" has to be one of my favorite electronic tracks ever. I highly recommend this record. I've heard people say that this is what Autechre should have ended up like...

If you like this, check out Múm. Good stuff."
