SLEEPING AND HIDING

Tor Lundvall´s musical language has developed its own ramifications, which provide his outputs with an additional thrill. Sleeping And Hiding (2009) features a vocalist, or as he refers to "more song-oriented", who sings along very creative as enticing contemporary electronic music environments.

To kind of set its sound somewhere for new comers, and solely as a reference, this is the kind of sound which will result between an imaginary purely electronic music based No Man´s & Talk Talk´s merge, although the vocal register is closer to Bowness than Hollis, but this, I repeat, is just to set its approximate location in the Prog World and of course imaginary.

Anyway, a 12 track release ('Evening Walk' and 'The Falling Rain' were originally envisioned as a 7" single that never happened, however added as bonus tracks of the 2013 reissue, which is the one I am reviewing), of perfectly timed and varied mood, slow tempo songs in Tor Lundvall´s self developed musical idiom with simplified and precise arrangements (as always), inventive ethereal yet quiet solid musical solutions and well sung vocals which serve the music and not the usual other way around.

Easy 4 solid stars for this one!
