SAAT

A beautiful, dreamy album by German folk rockers Emtidi! This one belongs to Pilz catalogue (where have been signed all the best of German "acid" folk at the beginning of the 70's). A similar experience to Hoelderlin's "Traum" with its entire enchanting, calm and "pastoral" atmosphere. The omnipresence of the deep, fragile and emotional voice of the female singer provides a delicate touch of poetry. The instrumental accompaniment is very classic: a textural world of acoustic sounds from medieval to Celtic, always played with serenity. A few tracks include keyboards' arrangements as in the celestial; epic and organ dominated "Touch the Sun". Generally not very "trippy" for fans of kraut-folk (Witthuser & Westrupp, Emma Myldenberger...) but a consistent, sensitive work. A sound of perseverance and contemplation.
