Copia is the sound of Cooper surpassing himself, combining his patented minimalist drones with beautifully rendered piano.
-
It sounds exactly like Eluvium, only with an organ and not a guitar, and with more overt classical aspirations than before.
-
My issue with Copia-- the thing that keeps this record from greatness-- is Cooper's approach to piano.
-
A magnificent set, awash in textures, atmospheres, moods, and emotion.
-
Copia is Cooper’s greatest work to date, but it leaves even more roads for him to take.
-
While spare in its construction, Copia offers a bounty of emotion for those who give it the chance.
-
This is a just an amazingly pretty and graceful album.
-
While there has clearly been a degree of evolution... none of Eluvium's previous effects are lost with his new offering; the music still winds its way through your mind, but at the same time it moves the soul as well.
-
Eluvium has crafted an album that is at once immediate and accessible while deceptively complex.
-
Definitely a bit more hit-or-miss than some of his past work.
