Genre: Electronic Ambient / Drone / Spacial
01 Norwegian Cowboy
02 Fogbank
So here we go with a CD-R release limited to 96
copies on a label I've never heard of either.
Feu Follet to me would be the bastard child of Daniel Menche, Troum
and Klaus Schulze . There is a very Musique
Konkret
element to all of this as well. Being just 2 very long tracks totaling
over 42 mins. Feu Follet mixes odd ambient Colleges, Distant
vocals, Bell and Drone tones in a very organic manner.
Fogbank is very densely layered but not to the point
of overkill.
I think this would make a wonderful back drop to avant art showing or
even an arthouse film. As each moment passes Feu Follet builds and
grows to bring the listener deeper into there grasp. Live with
projectors, the right lighting and the proper crowd of ambient/
experimental loving
music fans this could be a spectacle for all to witness and enjoy. Feu
Follet never become boring or same sounding the textures are just to
many to ever let this happen.
Both Tracks are of the Building, drifting and
engulfing nature never does this become noise in any manner. I really like the haunting tones more so the 2nd track Fogbank. Where
the Drone and Dark ambient sound seem to be able to shine through so
much more.
I don't have a clue if this is what the german experimental scene is
creating today but I will say that Feu Follet doe's one hell of a job
at making you visualize the sounds they create. We clearly need more from this project and a wider pressing as under 100 copies just seems criminal to me.
