Not being news to anyone, since the album was released in February, now comes to minimaland, simply because we could not pass by one of the best releases of 2010.Pantha Du Prince committed himself to the fullest and has achieved a tremendous job. Nothing better than “The Lay in Shimmer” to get an album started in the funniest way possible, that is great for opening any party, set, or in this case a disc. Beautiful melodies conveying a welfare and then detailed rhythms and all booms placed in the precise time. “Abglanz” expresses some concern with the sharp perturbation of it’s strong deep percussions, and these later soothed by the calm of the bells. Continuing the disturbance demonstrated by Du Prince, we have this “the Splendour,” quite melancholic, but that should be heard, with all your ears and soul. Great for a winter morning. “Sitck to my side” is a track all of it well-formed, crafted the perfect way, where every sound comes at the right time, in the right minute. Initially opposes the bass with the beat, giving a little anxiety for the continuity of both. The brand of music is what keeps it in the ear, the soft quiet voice gathered by 5 melodic tones. It will rock the summer mornings. “The Nomad’s Retreat” is marked for its low stimulants along with the danceable rhythm, just for some. “Satellite Snyper” arrives with a single force, and repetition of melodic tones penetrating, falling to a quiet funny low percussion and some catchy tunes, is one of my favorites. Killer, Irreversible, Powerful, Restless is the “Behind the Stars already known by you all, it doesn’t need any type of presentation. Smooth and well presented, “Bohemian Forest” appears unwittingly to sneak into view, tearing apart more sensitive hearts, with incredible low’s and all the musical growth pattern worked very well. “Welt Am Draht” appears in a form of new soul, mixing various rhythms, the bearer of Gregorian chants, very well achieved. “Im Bann” suggests a small outburst of DuPrince, with a very dramatic melody, notifying some cold and isolated walk through a breezy autumn. To end “Es Schneiter,”, Dub style, and a set of bells in a constant uproar. Awesome.
