^{FENNESZ- Venice CD}
A lot of the best music around at the moment is marked by an almost complete lack of dynamics - music that doesn’t really go anywhere, preferring just to hang in the air, buzzing with a vague malevolence. cLOUDDEAD’s magnificent Ten, for instance sounds like a slo-o-o-w 40-minute sigh of resignation. Well, Venice - the new CD from Zulu-favourite Christian Fennesz - is the invigorating inhalation to follow Ten’s enervated exhalation. Breathe it in. This is 50 minutes of absolutely gorgeous guitar harmonics and laptop sound design. It’s immediately apparent why the album was delayed for over a year. Clearly Fennesz wanted it to be perfect and we think he’s damn near succeeded. Every wash, throb, crackle, echo, chime and hiss is perfectly calibrated to give listeners spinal tingles and a faint humming in the base of their skulls. As an added incentive, in also features a stunning guest vocal from David Sylvian, on the Scott Walker-esque “Transit”.
