    Minimalist at its core - requires patience, but musically fulfilling in the end. Top 3 tracks: Sunson, #2, Kaleidoscope.

    "All Melody" was very impressed.
    I will say right away: Nils's work is not for everyday listening. These are not tracks that can simply accidentally play in a player, while you are busy with their idleness. And not those that can be divided into companies. They need a special mood, a special state, they must be immersed, they need to be heard. Every sound, every overflow, a transition    "All Melody" was very impressed.
    I will say right away: Nils's work is not for everyday listening. These are not tracks that can simply accidentally play in a player, while you are busy with their idleness. And not those that can be divided into companies. They need a special mood, a special state, they must be immersed, they need to be heard. Every sound, every overflow, a transition from tone to tone, from instrument to instrument ... This is like a theatrical production, in which the main roles are played by instruments. It's like a living organism, like a cosmos. This art, which must be able to enjoy.
    And I assure you, when you hear, you will not be disappointed. It will not take long to wait, - the album from the first track carries with it ... "The Whole Universe Wants To Be Touched" ... Amazing!
    I wish you "to hear"!    … Expand

    Frahm’s first major solo work since Spaces, and it finds its maker exploring new sounds and new spaces with often stunning results.

    By making a space that fits his creative style, Frahm found a way to give complex compositions even more room to weave themselves into the world while you listen.
