Simulacra
There's A Fountain Filled With Bloo
Degradation, degeneration, fear, sadness, loneliness, the end... these and many other negativities, "dressed in a dark ambient garment" can be felt in the new work of Simulacra. The five foggy pieces of work that overwhelm the listener with a feeling of a total solitariness while waiting for something that is not avoidable and cant be stopped create the musical whole. The sounds used in the new album of Simulacra are, as usual, the minimalist form of dark ambient, that emanates with hypnotic attraction. The main motive of this album is a fountain filled with blood that symbolizes the source of death, the place we constantly head on in our gloomy existential pilgrimage. The atmosphere of the album grabs the listeners heart... to stop its beating with one grip. Think Paul Bradley, but then a bit less abstract and moving a bit more towards the musical side of things, with long sustaining chords ebbing and flowing about. Great music, but don't play this scary nightmare in a pitch black environment - ghosts may crawl upon you. (FdW - Vital Weekly 720)
