This is just overwhelming.
It seems to be a concept album about water and its different manifestations. Whatever it was meant
to be, musically the thread is never lost. It is more like a single 40 min song with recurring
themes all through. Heavy, psychedelic, dreamy. It is perfectly composed, creating tensions and
surprises. It catches you in the beginning and doesn't let you go until th end.
First you've got the quiet before the storm with twinkling, rippling sounds. Perfectly to lean back
and kick of your shoes. But after about 5 minutes the song is living up its name. A monstrous
tsunami wave hits your speakers: A heavy, nearly doom-like riff (due to its slow tempo). Like the
ocean itself it is rising and ebbing away, hitting again when no one would expect it.
Seamless it fades into the next track. A groovy bass and drum section accompanies again twinkling
and dreamy but also disturbing sounds made by guitar and synth. The song constantly evolves without
changing the theme.
Now "Evaporate" starts right off with a kickass drum and bass line and heavy riffs. Again, the
dynamics are perfectly balanced. "Voyage automatique" continues the overall concept of the Album.
Dreamy, floating but still very impulsive.
When the last sounds vanish, you get the feeling of waking up from the big sleep. Little sizzling
noises and reality turns back in. 555555 Stars
