Klimek - Music To Fall Asleep, Sep 29 2011

Klimek's second album, MUSIC TO FALL ASLEEP, still uses the micro-loop techniques of his first, but the results are much more interesting. Right off the bat, the tonal quality of "Pathways (Verbunden) To Work" is much more majestic, more expansive. The guitars on "Standing (Ausser) On The Beach (Gefahr)," too, now have other instruments to accompany them, and "Working Towards (Yuppies With) Independence (Jeeps)" actually offers them a chance to play a full riff. As well, the tracks also form a more cohesive whole, with the sustained tones of "Kingdoms Here We (Wiggin' By Night) Come" segue into the dreamy "In (Elastisch) Limbo." The title track carries a hint of sadness, especially as the manipulated strings appear halfway through, while "Verlust (White, No Trails) Der Motorik" starts with a sharp whistling and continues icily, warming up only when it echoes into "Catalyst (Celluloid)." The crystalline melancholy of "Kälteschaden (Wärmetod)" reaches out it tendrils, but "Les Mots D'amour (Hinweg)" finally brings back the warmth, stretching like a cat in the sun. This album may lull you into a trance, but is much too interesting to put you to sleep.

music to rattle your nerves, Jan 4 2012

This has to be the most irritating collection of sounds I have ever encountered. There are shrill string instruments, a guitar strumming harshly, a voice high pitched... and there is nothing soothing about this at all.
I could not ever recommend this as music for relaxation. But if your intent is to become edgy and irate..........
