| The debut release from Rekjavik-based producers SK/UM--aka |
| SKURKEN and PRINCE VALIUM. Nine endearing and accessible tracks |
| that expand on the established template for the electronica genre |
| without ever becoming generic or mundane. For fans of WARP, |
| VERTICAL FORM, MORR MUSIC, etc. CD packaged in a quality digipak |
| sleeve. |
| |
| There are times when even the most hardened sonic explorers among |
| us need something...well, nice to listen to. When the thought of |
| punishing your stereo system with the latest Merzbow box set or |
| clearing a dinner party with a spot of Autechre doesn't appeal, |
| this prime slice of Icelandic electronica should do the trick. |
| |
| Sprinkled with satisfying sonic tricks but stuffed full of good |
| old melody, φ pßgu fallsins will appeal to those whose ears are |
| massaged into states of bliss by Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel |
| Aviv or savaath + savalas. Shifting beatsystems wriggle away |
| underneath soft, chiming melodies and blurry smears of analogue |
| synth, all washed down with a light drizzle of digital clicks and |
| pops. It's melancholic, but never chilly in the way that much |
| electronica can be and doesn't ever abstract itself out of |
| existence. It's not afraid to be pretty. |
| |
| Sk/um (aka the union of Icelandic IDM types Skurken and Prince |
| Valium) understand the power of economy too; nine fragile |
| constructions glide by in 35 minutes. Listening under headphones |
| uncovers teeming sonic minutiae, much like observing a drop of |
| water under a microscope reveals a world of otherwise invisible |
| creatures. Following Eno's dictum that ambient music must be as |
| 'ignorable as it is interesting', this music repays pretty much |
| any level of attention you're prepared to give it. |
| |
| The unity of mood throughout makes it hard to single out |
| individual pieces, and maybe that accounts for the album's charm. |
| But 'Finaleria" seems particularly noteworthy, if only for the |
| totally unexpected and quite beautiful little guitar solo that |
| emerges towards the end. Blissful. If your idea of chillout is |
| something a little more enterprising than William Orbit dicking |
| around with polite C20 classical music, this'll be right up your |
| street. Diamond Geysers. |
| |
| Reviewer: Peter Marsh |
| |
| The second Icelandic release on Resonant also heralds the label's |
| second foray into the realms of electronica: following the |
| majestic Borko EP from early 2002 comes more Grade A output, with |
| this flawless, varied and engaging mini-album. This is the debut |
| release from Reyjkavik-based producers Sk/um. aka Skurken and |
| Prince Valium, aka Johann Omarsson and Thorstein Olafsson. |
| Available on ultra-limited 8-track LP and 9-track CD (CD includes |
| an exclusive remix by Arnar Helgi of the opening track |
| 'Tornatar') and clocking in at 30 minutes-pIus. I Thagu Fallsins |
| (loosely translated as 'For The Fall') expands on the established |
| template for the genre and remains endearing and accessible |
| throughout, without ever becoming generic or mundane." |
