34511 This is flowing ambient/dark ambient from Russian project called Cisfinitum (mainly one person - E. Voronovsky, who was studying to be violinist originally and turned to experimental/ambient music). I'm really glad that this record (originally released in 2000) is now available to anyone, since its an obscure classic in its own genre, no less. Small notice, though - most of these tracks are extremely long and that is one of my reasons to take out 1 star. Other then that, it can be used as a fine background music for, say, imaginary Tarkovsky movie.

Diffusion nemski 2005-04-19 06:58:48 2005-04-19 06:58:48 4 This is the most haunting release I've ever found on archive.org (3 years ago) "Landschaft" is a perfect mix of 2 kinds of ambient music : experimental/droning stuff one one side, but also emotional, carefully composed melodies. But these 2 elements are extremely well balanced and the overall sound is very organic. (although the (shortest) opening and closing tracks are more directly melodic) than the long 2nd and 3rd track) The beauty and sadness of the final piece "Delta District", its splendid chord progression and whispering sounds, make this one my favourite in the album. It gives me the same spacious and melancolic feeling that you can have when facing the sea at night with a head full of memories. The perfect soundtrack for remembering all what you've lost... N.B. : This is my 1st review on archive.org because I'm not very self-confident regarding my english writing abilities, but I had to review this one, that is a bit underrated IMO. If numbers had a meaning I would rate it 6/5.. beauty and sadness at their best the ghost between the strings 2008-08-15 15:21:18 2008-08-15 15:21:18 5 4 4.50
