Song Of The Week: Stars Of The Lid - And Their Refinement Of The Decline
Song Of The Week: Stars Of The Lid - And Their Refinement Of The Decline - "A Meaningful Moment Through A Meaning(less) Process" >> mp3
Taken from STARS OF THE LID's long awaited 'comeback' album, And Their Refinement Of The Decline , "A Meaningful Moment Through A Meaning(less) Process" is a condensed, brief example of the scope, understated majesty and overwhelming euphoria contained in their latest record.
Once again, long enough to need two compact discs (or three long playing records), the five years the band have worked on the album are clearly evident in the meticulous nature of the music - this is not simply a monotonous drone record, but a wonderfully rich melodic symphony evoking half remembered dreams and drifting slumber. At once joyous and melancholic, the spirits of Arvo Pårt and Zbigniew Preisner are evoked as well as the obvious drone innovators like Phil Niblock, La Monte Young and Charlemagne Palestine.
In all likelihood, the most beautiful record you will hear this year.
