Sascha
Lemon is one of those prolific artists unleashing every single year an
impressive number of productions. I recently discovered the album “An integral
Part Of Nothing”, which I personally consider his best work that he has ever
made. And here’s already a new album featuring seven new tracks.

The
previous album featured songs inspired by IDM, and a few that are into
cinematic music. “A Calm Heart Beating” moves on this soundtrack-inspired way
revealing the most cinematic production from LFP 12 to date. The opening piece
is really interesting for the input of good-old analogue sounds and effects.
The song moves over the 11 minutes mark, but you never get the feeling of
boredom. It sounds into reverie and that’s precisely what this work is all about.
But it moves much further than simply an ambient trip. The tracks have been
accomplished with numerous little crispy noises and other manipulations.

LPF 12 again moves into another direction than its previous work. The
cinematic side is not exactly an innovation for Sascha Lemon, but he clearly
becomes more and more interested in it. The way he accomplished the debut track
(cf. “Daylight Does Not Save Us”) again took me by surprise. It sounds a bit
like a kind of apology to analogue sound treatments, but in the end it simply
sounds great! The songs have been meticulously worked out and achieved with
subtle arrangements you better can discover by using headphones. I also
recommend listening to “Let No One Tell You Story” and “We Make The World Go
Quiet”.

I personally prefer the IDM approach of LPF 12 instead of this cinematic
production, but in the Sascha Lemon feels comfortable dealing with different
styles.
Conclusion:
LPF
12 is prolific, but remains fascinating because he avoids repeating himself
while holding on to a high-quality level! Why doesn’t this project get more
recognition?
Best
songs:
“Daylight Does Not Save Us”, “Let No One Tell You Story”, “We Make The
World Go Quiet”.
