Release Description

[English]
Deeply impressed by a trip to Iceland, Ametsub produced his 2nd album (and cover art). With the same incredibly detailed production and crystal clear sound known already from his debut CD, Ametsub shows more mature composition and arangement skills now. There is always something new to discover while listening. Based around his great and chordful piano playing, the tracks range from experimental via ambient to IDM-ish sounds. This results in an experimental but still very listenable album. There is a reason why Riuchi Sakamoto and Yagya became fans of Ametsub: This album already now is a true electronic classic.

[Deutsch]
Tief beeindruckt von einer Reise nach Island produzierte Ametsub sein zweites Album (nebst Cover). Die Produktion ist wie auch schon bei seiner Debut CD neben dem glasklaren Sound überaus detail- und ideenreich, es gibt immer wieder neues zu entdecken. Die Kompositionen, Melodien und der Soundcharakter der einzelnen Songs sind jedoch noch ausgereifter geworden. Basierend auf seinem durchaus Klassik- und (Nu)Jazzangehauchtem Pianospiel bewegen sich die Stücke zwischen experimenteller Elektronik, Ambient und IDM. Resultat ist ein intelligentes, experimentelles aber dennoch sehr hörbares Album. Es hat schon seinen Grund, weshalb Riuchi Sakamoto und Yagya Fans von Ametsub geworden sind: Dieses Album ist schon jetzt ein echter Klassiker.

[日本語]
坂本龍一やYagyaからも絶賛されているAmetsubの新作セカンドアルバムは,アーティスト自身のアイスランドへの旅からのインスピレーションを元に製作されました。(ジャケット写真もアーティスト自身の撮影によるものです。)
デビューCDでも明らかだった彼の透明感溢れるサウンドと楽曲に対する細部へのこだわりは今作品においても相変わらず健在し、その作曲技法はより洗練されたものになっています。聴くたびに新しい発見があります.流暢で美しいコード感のピアノをベースに,アンビエントからダンサンブルな楽曲まで、実験的であると同時にとても聴きやすい作品に仕上がっています。エレクトロニカのクラシック足りえる存在感をもった傑作です。

[Francais]
Ametsub a produit son 2ème album (et son visuel) après les fortes impressions ressenties lors de son périple en Islande. Avec la même production incroyablement détaillée et claire que sur son premier album, Ametsub nous présente maintenant la maturité de ses compositions et ses talents d'arrangeurs indégnables. Toujours basés sur son jeu au Grand Piano, les morceaux s'étendent de l'experimental à des sons IDM'isant en passant par l'Ambient. Il y a des raisons pour lesquelles Riuchi Sakamoto et Yagya sont devenus fan d'Ametsub : cet album est déjà un véritable classique de la musique électronique.

[Español]
Profúndamente impresionado por un viaje a Islandia, Ametsub produjo su 2do álbum (y arte de tapa). Con la misma increible detallada producción y sonido cristalino conocida en su CD debutante, Ametsub hoy muestra una composición y habilidades de arreglo más maduros. Siempre hay algo nuevo por descubrir mientras uno escucha. Basado en su grandiosa y acordiosa manera de tocar el piano, las pistas van desde ambient experimental a sonidos IDM. Esto da como resultado un álbum experimental pero muy audible. Hay una razón por la cuál Ryuichi Sakamoto y Yagya se convirtieron en fans de Ametsub: Éste álbum ya es hoy un verdadero clásico electrónico.
