release info

After a convincing first release from the Dutch electronics
label Sending Orbs, it's time for a less known artist in the
same genre. With Kettel as a first outburst, one can hardly
miss: musically as well as the sales numbers were much higher
than the guys of Sending Orbs could hope for. Now one of
Kettel's friends gets the opportunity to present his magic. A
beautifully designed album is going to help him with that.
Secede is also known as Lennard van der Last and this isn't his
first release. 'Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic”, for example, is one
of his creations, released on Merck. Secede makes music in the
same style as Kettel, but knows how to give his sound a very
personal twist. The songs presented on 'Tryshasla” are all very
serene and can be categorized as easy listenable, spherical
electronics. Complex song structures are wrapped up in beautiful
and pleasant melodies. Secedes tracks are overall a bit less
complex and more mainstream than stuff of some fellow electronic
artists. The interesting thing that Secede puts in his music, is
the fact that his songs are very nicely interweaved.
'Tryshasla” listens like a fairytale. The songs are perfectly
merged. Even to such an extend, that one can't really listen to
the songs separately. The voices and noises in ‘The Realms Of
Sanda', for example, are very hectic and overwhelming. If this
song wasn't sandwiched between ‘Leraine' and ‘The King Of
Sanda', it would have been quite unlistenable.
While listening to this album, I keep seeing images of that
beautiful Japanese anima movie ‘Spirited Away'. It isn't until
the third track (earlier mentioned ‘Leraine') that the first
cautious beats are introduced. This song is brought to us in
cooperation with Kettel and it is absolutely the best track of
this audible journey.
When we get to the end of the album, I personally think that the
music gets a bit too soft, but maybe that's just because the
fairytale has to have an ending as well. The lovely piano
playing in ‘Terata Shrine' gives me convincing goose bumps
however.
Overall, this is a real musical treat, in which the listener is
taken on a great voyage though the land of Sanda. The artwork of
Jeroen Advocaat contributes a lot to the mood, just as it did
with the first release of Sending Orbs. Luckily this time he
gets the opportunity to deliver a few more paintings, because
the booklet is now eight pages. With 'Tryshasla', Secede has
created a perfect ‘goodnight, sleep tight' album. And I'm really
looking forward to Sending Orbs third release. Because if they
stay in this spherical kind of electronics, this can't go wrong.
