Kontakte - Soundtracks For Lost Road Movies
"Soundtracks For Lost Road Movies" is a remarkably apt title for this release.
A cinematic trip where the landscape is awe inspiring and ecstatically ethereal.
Kontakte's music swells and simmers occasionally peaking to Mogwai-esque crescendos of white noise.
Music
to wonder at, to close your eyes and slip into a hallucinogenic
naturalistic world. This world encompasses the heady ambience of
Slowdive and at times it Godspeed's into and detonates Sonic
Youth-like walls of dynamic feedback. Remember the days when Mogwai
rocked out and let go? If you still pine for that sound, you are in for
one gargantuan treat here.`
The release contains some notable
remixes by the likes of Tim Holmes (Death In Vegas) and Chris Olley
(Six by Seven). The original compositions are beautifully put together
and the remixes add another great dimension and ambience to the overall
picture.
Kontakte
have only been together for two years and SFLRM, amazingly, is the first
full length release from this band. The album shows a depth of
musicianship, production and song structure. The journey has just begun
for this band and it travels in all the right directions. It's a joy to behold.
If you like your Nu-Gaze with plenty of post
Krautrock on the side, then Kontakte will hold your heart with mighty
guitars, fluid basses, ambient Keyboards and pounding drum beats.
As
the musical journey comes to and end, you are left sitting back in awe.
As you start to feel yourself come down, you find you must take the
trip
again and again.
7/10
