Bending light: A more thoughtful Molvaer sound

Julian Boyce | Bahrain | 09/15/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Quiet, subtle, beautifully produced and a a gravitus towards the more chilled side of NPM's inimitable chill-out music. This is a long way from Streamer and all the albums where 'beat' became the unifying element.



This is one to enjoy for the purpose of contemplation. And an important edition to NPM's cantos of beautiful music.



However, it is NOT the ideal choice - unless you are fully into this wonderful style of minimal Nordic fusion dark electronic jazz. Nor is it for the NPM novice. But then again, I don't think anyone will be reading this if you are new to Nil's work.



Spend the high price for the import and enjoy the dynamic stillness of this wonderful trumpet player.
