Those of you who do read my blog will know that I do like doing music reviews and this time I got the opportunity to review the latest album from electronica genius Northcape.
I’ve been a fan of the wonderful sounds of Northcape for many years so when the new album, Captured From Static, dropped through my letterbox, I just couldn’t wait to get it out of it’s wrapping and into my CD player, as with the earlier Northcape release this one is no exception with it’s sound production and sleeve design, the album is what I’ve come to expect with relaxing electronic tracks that just beg for more plays, which it has got since I’ve added it on my iPod 😉
From the very first track “Doesn’t Feel Like A long Way” to the closing track “Static Theme” it’s just a pure joy, ok you may think I’m biased at this point, but I’m not, you really can’t fault the perfection that Northcape produce with musical clarity, so how could I fault it, I can’t!
Musical tones, drifting basslines and subtle beats all come together in a mix of ambient splendor, giving the listener a musical journey that you just want to end, it’s one of those can’t stop listening to albums.
I’ve listened to it so many times since receiving it and it just get’s better, if you are an ambient, electronica fan then is one of those albums that you really should have in your collection and even if you don’t listen to this style of music you’ve got to give it a listen, it’s something that will relax the mind and the soul 😉
So if you are after some brilliant music to chill out to then check out Captured From Static and the previous album Detach. Go On! You know you want to 😉 Also follow @northcape on twitter and visit the official Northcape website..
