LANNA MEMORIES

Awesome "ghostly" dark drones sustained by ultra mystical vibrations from acoustic "exotic" instruments, from Nimh. Contrary to more "chaotic" / noisy ambient suffs from Nimh ("Subterranean Thoughts" for instance), this album can easily touch and haunt the listener's capacities of listening. "Part 1" starts with a hypnotic, "doom like" drone. A minimal ambience is created, then comes to the distance mysterious Asian melodies for wind instruments, sounding like a shamanic chant. "Part 2" is a gorgeous, posessed symphony for ethnic percussions & bells, voices...a resonant composition for dreamy repetition. "Part 3" starts with an avalanche of noises taken from the natural environnement, including a long linear chord, ceremonial drums...the song carries on a religious chant! weird, transcendant and ritual communion. This album is quite beautiful despite that is only 25 minutes long. Almost a classic! A must have for fans of early Popol Vuh and Deuter.
