Editorial Reviews: This is the debut release by Iceland's Olafur Arnalds and the first North American release for the London-based cinematic music label Erased Tapes Records. Arnalds has immersed himself completely in the world of delicate symphonic composition in a near-weightless orchestral undertaking. Mixing strings with loops, ambience, electronics and beats, Arnalds combines classical instrumentation with an indie-rock aesthetic that draws comparison to Sigur R¢s. Eulogy for Evolution is an evocative, orchestral suite that takes the listener on a journey, representing different periods of life from birth to death through slow-building and hauntingly melodic chamber music. It comes with a free download voucher for the 11-track Erased Tapes Collection I compilation to celebrate the label's 1st anniversary.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Another icelandic treasure Comment: Beautiful melodies incorporating classical instruments-- one difference though, Piano, Cello actually breathes soul, individuality and mystery, As if one can actually hear the artist's heartbeat behind each instrument. These melodies can be describe as bridges into the subconscious. Beware-- may induce ecstatic states of consciousness, transporting the listener to unknown territories. Just like its untouched, barren land, Iceland proves once again that it is a detached haven for creative artists who blending innovation, edginess with sacredness have become part of their DNA.
