THORSTEN QUASCHNING'S PICTURE PALACE MUSIC: SOMNAMBULISTIC TUNES (Digi-Pak - Stock # 455633) CD £16.99
Try to imagine that Vangelis was a member of Tangerine Dream throughout the 70's and 80's and they made an album together, then you are coming closer to getting a feel for how this album sounds.
Released in 2007, 'Somnambulistic Tunes' was the brainchild of Edgar Froese's mate with the unpronounceable name… Thorsten ''Q'' Quaeschning, and it was an album that should be considered required classroom listening by the whole of the Berlin and Euro-synth schools - because it shows you the sheer emotional perfection of brevity. Across 17 tracks, Quaeschning puts more real feeling into two minutes of his music than practically anyone else around the synth music scene. With tracks from two to thirteen minutes long, he's produced a master-class of an album. You'll hear everything from short cosmic symphonies with choral voices that are almost up to Constance Demby standards (almost!!) to more rhythmic pieces where things develop slowly, but where every note counts, where rhythms are accompanied by space and texture, and where expanse and emotion are just simply heavenly.
But there's an edge to it all as well, so that none of it comes across as overly syrupy. Even where guitars are used, it's done to make each note count - and throughout the album, this feeling of warmth is conveyed to completion.
Overall, it's a totally spellbinding album of slowly unfolding, varied yet emotionally thematically linked, glorious sounding, uplifting and highly enjoyable synths-based music that is a total treat on the ears.
