专辑介绍

Chandeen's delicately dark way around music continues well on the lovely Echoes, as good an album to put on when in a mysterious and just gothic enough mood. Though what's great about the band is how it's not all sturm und drang, as the short opening song &Indian Summer& (which could almost be a stripped down

">Enya tune, in ways) demonstrates. By keeping everything so carefully and sweetly focused — the title track is a fine example: piano, vocals, and the barest hint of strings setting a truly ethereal and entrancing mood — the various hints of Arabic, classical Western and other musics never become overbearing or distract from the core songs. As a result, even though a song like &In the Forest& may have hints of Dead Can Dance or Cranes with its low, steady drumming, it doesn't suggest a pagan ceremony so much as hint at one. One of the ways that the band keeps things varied is their sense of multi-part dynamics within a song while not coming across as some sort of arch-prog bores. &A Dream Within a Dream& has just enough of a stop-start sense of shifting sections and melodies without dramatically calling attention to itself. Credit as well for the creative use of classic poets — Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake and, twice, Oscar Wilde — without sounding like an arch, hushed reading a la early Moody Blues. If anything Antje Schulz's singing gives the words a new life by transferring the spoken rhythms to musical ones, while still sounding perfectly appropriate for her band's work. Wilde's &Impressions — La Fruite de la Lune& gets the best treatment of all, with Schulz's singing and Harald Lowy‘s exquisite arrangements making for a truly mystic result.
