Indie

In the end,music can be simple,yet when it comes straight from the heart,it can reach certain levels of beauty.There is certainly no place for anxiety,or hysteria.You just have to feel and,at the same time,possess the ability to transcend this feeling in a simple,vital way,in order to touch the listener's emotions.And that is the result of the listening session of Dark Plain's debut,simply called,"Breathe".

Starting of,I need to state that the artwork accompanying this disc,is simply amazing!A beautiful digipack,in minimal,black and white overtones!Iknow,it is impossible to judge a book by its cover.Yet,my first impression upon seeing this cd,was overwhelmingly well,for that matter.Moving on,some needed information regarding Conscience should be given:this,in fact,is a solo project,led by Rudiger Illg,who started creating music,back in 1991.Which is a trully long period really,in during which he has released several albums,so far.

While not exactly being a famous band, White Rose Transmission could in fact be regarded as a super-group. I usually do not use this rather dull term, but on the other hand, there is no other way to describe this band:originally formed back in 1995 by Carlo Van Putten(The Convent) and most notably perhaps, Adrian Borland(The Sound). Unfortunately, White Rose Transmission never received the attention they deserved, especially if compared to the massive success, both in terms of musicianship, but also,in terms of recognition, that Sound enjoyed back then.

My first notice concerning this disc was:yet another Echozone release for me to review!And a very good one,I might add..My second notice about it was how wonderfully titled this album is!I could say that"Autumn Inventors"almost sounds poetic to my ears.And what's more it perfectly fits as a description to the majority of the sounds exemplified within this cd.
