The second album from this one-man-band from Norway.
Donner is Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow etc etc) on percussion, bass, guitars, synths, samples and electronics.
He had help from some guests who added trumpet, guitars and flute.
I think I got the first Donner album and had a brief listen before I decided a review did not fit this blog. I may have been wrong in that respect and I may dig it out of my record collection later on for a review.
Jacob is mostly known from White Willow. Lately, he has been doing some more ambient projects in addition to being a producer of a lot of albums.
This album gives us a mix of more electronica ambient music and cinematic rock. Forty minutes of this blend, to be more precise.
There is some tasty trumpets here on the top of some programming and electronic wizardry.
The tempo is slow to mid-paced and the music is pretty dynamic and varied. There is some pretty good melodies here too.
As a soundscape, this album is working pretty well. The music is really relaxing and nice on the ear. It even have some good details too.
The result is an album somewhere between decent and good. It is an album electronic prog fans should check out.
