Description
Good stories always have a bit of prehistory. Good albums too, because they tell a good story. That’s why, every now and again in our standardized music world, an album appears whose history began even before the very first note arose. That is definitely true in the case of the new CD from the Luxembourgian project ROME.
The subtle power with which Reuter tells us his stories overrides all epochs and categories. There is nothing that isn’t permitted in this music. The literary and philosophical subjects are just as diverse as the musical influences. The album features songs in the vein of ROME’s trademark blends of Dark Folk (‘The Secret Germany’, ‘Celine in Jerusalem’) and Post Industrial Wave (‘Transference’, ‘Skirmishes for Diotima’). Moreover, Scandinavian fans will be delighted to find that the album also features a duet (‘Stillwell’) with legendary Swedish singer and friend Thåström.
