French drone quartet Foudre hadn't met neoclassical composer Christine Ott before the day of the concert, which adds to the magic of this album. The eerie tones of her ondes martenot match perfectly with the equally nostalgic and intriguing sounds generated by multiple analog synthesisers. Guitar-driven drones and several electronic effects make the general atmosphere complete: an expert level of immersion...
Give a shoulder massage to a cat and you'll see the same effect as this music has on me. I'd purr equally loudly if I could. But restricted by my human form, I just sit motionless while the soul balming sounds do their work. What an album!
For fans of all things that drone out of the box.
