Feu Follet - Fogbank
Friday, August 01 2008 @ 01:00 AM PDT
Contributed by: Clint Listing

Fogbank

Artist: Feu Follet Germany

Title: Fogbank

Label: Triple Bath Records Greece

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.
