best music you never know.

I'm going to break the rules for this reviews, instead of using Indonesian, i'm going to use English. For the purpose of introducing "our" bands outside.

one other thing.........forgive my sloppy English.

















Marché La Void - Cacophonia EP

Having a different and diverse musical taste's from each of the members in a band can be a bit tricky, it could wander to nowhere or provide something interesting and unique. For Marche La Void, it's the later.

Started out with "them as pyros", Marche La Void moving it up tracks by tracks. There's some added progression after every tracks. Most notably in "Fortified Emptyness", when the guitars starting to loosen up with melodic styling of Radiohead and Psychedelic King Crimson. Then, probably one of the best final tracks in 2007 "depriving the distant thought within everything that comes between" they bring out their best in this track. The lulling guitar soundscape which work hand in hand with the deep vocal's that fits in the texture of the sounds. and from 05:00, everything's blend into one epic beautiful ending.


My criticism for this release is the use of the Ambient Soundscape was to limited. Which i think this brings out their full potential. We can hear it faded away in scientific despair and completly gone in fortified emptiness. This break the mood a bit for the EP.

Nevertheless, Ranging from the slowcore style of Low, Japanese legendary Psychedelic Ambient band Ghost. Marche La Void able to keep it in one theme, placing their diversity piece by piece subtlely into each tracks. Depression, despair is the theme for the EP, but i have to say, Depression, despair is not such a bad thing. Sometimes if you look hard enough you can find a sense of beauty in it. And beauty is happiness

Lorelei - You Know I Will Die Soon

Electronica is a "wild" music to begin with, you can do everything you want, sound wise, music wise, etc. But Lorelei kept it simple yet attractive.

The first four tracks is a nice intro for the album, end's with "Place Of Where" an upbeat tinkling track. "Life Extension" brings out the experimental side with the noisy nu-gaze sound bewildered my ears. play it loud, i like this track. "Before Sunset" is the most soothing track in this album, they played it really well and patience with this one. In a different directions "Yesterday Was Sucks, But Today's Too..." have some Post Rock'ish feel into it, the guitars challenging each other's and the drums beating slowly. "O, Night Angel Where Art Thou" dark brooding ambient, and lastly a cover for
Mum "On The Old Mountain Radio" from Please Smile My Noise Bleed, they put more substances than the original version. I personally prefer Lorelei version

It's a good release, but some of the tracks doesn't complement each others and a bit out of place. Which can make a gap for the whole album.

Their sound reminds me from some works by The Album Leaf, The lo fi Post Rock band Worriedaboutsatan, and Uvi.lov. Lorelei's provide a bright sense of vision to this album, with it's ambient sound, electronic glitch, a catchy upbeat tunes, and some twist of experimentations.

Both are a great addition for our music industry. We surely need more experimental Bands/Musics to push the boundaries and injecting a realm that we probably never heard before.
