| Description | Drastically, dramatically, completely, extremely different from its predecessor "Traumende". ORDEAL year 2002 are offering dark, sparse, in a way sober, in another way ponderous ambiences. Somewhere between dark ambient and a certain kind of post-rock, seldom introducing minimal rhythms over creeping atmospheres. Hard to explain how this album sounds like - just try it by yourself........ "Ma|an" is music for a post-nuclear cabaret. Music After A Nuclear dawn.... |
