AURORA

Rightly classified as avant-garde, this bizarre little french group excels in dark theatrical absurdity. I wish I spoke french to understand what was going on. However, not knowing is somewhat a treat, in a way. Combining some of the finer elements of folk, jazz, opera, classical, and minimal ambient music, Aurora flows both smooth and angelic, as well as sometimes assailing and jagged. However, the experience is enjoyable and listenable in both varieties. Though despite being of such an atmospheric timbre and compelling quality, the overall composure of the album is somewhat forgettable and unexciting. For that reason, I don't rate it terribly high, though I still recommend it greatly for fans of the obscure theatre scene, loose avant-garde, psychedelic dark ambient, and 20th Century classical.
