Genre/Influences:
Dark-ambient,
soudscape.
Background/Info:
This
album is a conceptual release featuring Anemone Tube (Germany), Jarl (Sweden)
and Monocube (Ukrainian). The concept is based upon a series of paintings by
Pieter Bruegel. In 1565 he painted a series of paintings dedicated to the months of
the year. He broke the cycle of the year into six stages in six paintings, two
months per painting, one of these paintings have been lost, five remain. The
remaining paintings inspired the artists to compose five tracks names after the
original name of the paintings.
Content:
The
work features two collaborative efforts between Anemone Tube and Jarl, one
between Anemone Tube and Monocube, one featuring the three artists and another
solo-cut by Anemone Tube. The compositions are mixing dark-ambient and
soundscape passages featuring deep, blasting sounds, space-like bleeps,
overwhelming sound waves and multiple little crispy noises and other rarities.

Those artists have transposed the original painting of Brueghel into a
nightmarish experience. The tracks are pretty visual, which is accentuated by
the impressive sound treatments, which are mainly coming through in “The Gloomy
Day” and “The Harvesters”. This is an intelligent and great artistic concept. I
also have to say a word about the cool digipak featuring pictures from the
original painting plus a booklet with a lot of information.

I can’t say there’s one bad song featured, but just a few passages –like
during the final cut, which are maybe a bit too long in duration.
Conclusion:
This
is an interesting and really successful collaboration between three artists
transposing the world of the great Pieter Bruegel into a horror vision.
Best
songs: “The Gloomy Day”, “The Harvesters”, The Hay Harvest”.
