Description
2019 reissue, 2×12″ LP, 45rpm, Deutsche Grammophon.
The late Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson’s second studio album from 2004 is one ambient-influenced classical piece that makes use of the same phrase throughout but, for technical reasons, is divided into four parts. It features a host of musical instruments, from tubas, horns, organs and trumpets to glockenspiel and bass. It’s a masterpiece in minimalism and repetition, of non-linear music that traps you in the here and now, and it is a beautiful place to be when you listen to the whole album in one immersive sitting. – Juno
