Review by: Captain Fidanza
This appears to be classical music, by which I mean it’s being played on instruments that are not plugged into the wall. In addition to this bizarrity, it also seems to be being played by people who know how to play those instruments really well “” really, really well in fact.
This is what Esmerine would sound like if there was a powercut.
Beautiful, mid-tempo pieces are balanced by slower, pastoral sequences in which the violins do that wobbling thing from Psycho that Herrmann employs just before something horrific happens. It doesn’t seem as though anything horrific is happening here, although several of the songs have an inward, reflective tone that made me regret the time I criticized that Bobby Joe Ebola album for being childish and all those American people got angry with me.
Besides this, in addition to making very beautiful chamber music, it makes me very happy to report that all the members of Collectress wear high quality, sensible shoes, which is and always will be, an infallible way of discerning good people.
