The Article has images
2008-09-07 23:13:00 by James in Pop Headwound
...evocative words conjures up, to me, the type of dusty, big desert sky sound that Calexico does when they are on their game. Carried To Dust is full of those moments. That wasnt a very well written paragraph, I know, but hopefully you got what I meant Carried To Dust opens with a terrific run of songs - Victor Jaras Hands, Two Silver Trees,...

...evocative melody sung without words by Annarita Luceri in a way that reminds me of Noa and an exotic recitative part that leads to the heavier Niuru te core (Dark heart) where you can appreciate the contrast between aggressive guitar parts and more relaxed moments, between the raw vocals of Maurilio Gigante and the beautiful melodic voice of...

...evocative. The Bass playing of Renato is powerful and it sublimates, discreet and taciturn, but effective and simultaneously sober at moments of great musical tension, there is no doubt that is one of the underrated bass players, but if most skilful and with a great sense of the support and improvisation (please listen to the passage of...

...evocative sounds and industrial parasites. A very strange, rare combination of sounds that cant be missed. Track 3 carries on the same schema with a duel between traditional instrumentation and ultimately creepy dronescapes. Spiritual and moody at the same time. The last track includes a variety of collages, an evocative tapestry of sounds...

...evocative Celtic-tinged, Floyd-fed longish tunes that were sheer pleasure from beginning to end. Their second offering , Spirits of Autumn Past had some more amazing tunes but seemed to lack that spirit that characterizes their unique brand of prog-folk.

...evocative and a bit less sumptuous than the opener, still being genuinely energetic. Special mentions go to the electrifying synth solo that emerges at minute 3 and the fluid contrasts between softer and stronger passages. Fishbulb sounds like a lost HTM piece performed by Colosseum II it includes a funny quote from the popular The Simpsons...
