THE UMBERSUN

Elend's three first albums were good avant-garde classical albums with some good melody lines. They dropped this melody based formula on this album and went........ on empty.

The music is still pretty heavy with classical instruments. My guess is sampled philharmonical orchestra instruments. Figure a 100 pieces strong orchestra and you get the instruments here. Add both male spoken words, male vocals and female opera vocals too. The music is very dark and claustrophobic at the same time. It is like watching a closed up flower while waiting for it to let the sun get in so the bees can do their work. That never happens on this album though. It is like an exploration of an submarine, many miles under the surface.

In short, this is a pretty mediocre album with not much going for it.
