"THE SILENT FLAME" review

here's the translation from the "the silent flame" review from this website
http://www.gutsofdarkness.com/god/objet.php?objet=8753

the reviewer called the music as "cold heavenly goth" sounds nice :o) thank you...


this album is quite disconcerting: we encounter in their universe the ghosts of Cocteau Twins, Trance to the Sun and a touch of Slowdive, The Cure and this is spiced up with some ambient experimentations. We seek a comforting feeling through all these bare orchestrations where spirals of guitars sometimes close to My Bloody Valentine shoegaze whirl between slow beats od the drum programming, these alternances between the easing female voices and the sometimes sad or dandy-like male ones... and we don't it really. We let ourselves be ravished by the voluptuous trance of the marvellous "riding the waves home", "love sick" or " be a queen"voluntarily disbalanced by the insane feeling we hardly recognize, caused by the cold keyboards on "who knows" or by hars attacks on "dream sequence" nothing is harsh or ironic in my description and this is the quality of this album that caresses, push back, pinches, goes from the soft and almost naive "the syn might come up" to th wrongly cold heavenly on "toedliche frieheit", and all this shapes a coherent album. This little game can only be perceptible to the only ones who will listen to it with a very careful ear as it is an ethereal progression that is going to melt with the fog before the spleen on "september's breath" (that is neat to Trance to the Sun) comes to give back more dynamism to the numb dreams. Imagine Black tape for a blue girl's spirit captured in a body of sounds inspired by Cocteau Twins, Trance to the Sun and My Bloody Valentine, the all gbeen through coldwave and then you will get a very vague idea of the ambiances of this album that rocks and drowns us at the same time. Very disconcerting but very enticing album!!
