Kontakt Der Jünglinge - n (CD, Die Stadt 2003)



On this release from Kontakt Der Jünglinge you get the constant feeling of being underwater, as if you are in a submarine, diving deeper and deeper to dangerous depths. I listended to this album in a darkened room a couple of times, and I am finding new sounds everytime I listen too it, again. It was like searching too something old and personal.

The sounds most frequent on this release are very dark and deep soundscapes and drones, You can also hear field recordings of water dripping / rain and high clanging in the background, as if someone is smashing glass. The clanging seems to get much higher and sharper in pitch, or maybe its just a new sound coming in, followed by dissonant and eerie tunes, that sound a bit like wind. High and playfull but also sinister,
are the melodies that seem to come from them, without any
direction or destination. The track ends with repetitive
percussion (partly made from the dripping water?).

This 'one track' album is a solid construction wich you have to go through a few times
to see / hear it all. And it will take you to some deep, if not the deepest waters.
