KraftiM - "BackVieW"

Too ambient for me (6/10) Hmmm... It's definitely an interesting effort, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me. I liked the following tracks: 1 Danik; 2 Caragon & 8 Fratatag. The others were: a) too experimental (5 BiLena - I hated backward recitations mixed with a classical melody here) b) too ambient and calm (6 Drong - not much is happening throughout the track - IMHO the artist failed to create the mood and atmosphere - the result is boring) c) uncreative (7 Adaschu - a Schubert's cover without any interesting idea for changing the master's work). Ambient seems to be an easy genre, but in my opinion it's one of the most difficult, because there is only a thin line between meditation and sleep. It requires a great talent to be able to measure silence, repetitions and long static passages in such way that the listeners fall into a state of ecstasy and not into a coma. KraftiM chose the right ingredients on three tracks, so he is definitely an artist to be watched. Of course, if one is a dedicated fan of ambient in any form, he may love the whole album. It is a professional recording, not an amateurish demo.
