"Einsamkeit" ("Solitude") - is the title of the second album Lacrimosa, a Swiss duo, who then, in 1992, was a single musical project. The album "Einsamkeit" is the successor to the extremely bleak, filled with fear and despondency CD "Angst" and the predecessor of the dark, madness and lust epatującego CD "Satura". The album was released by the label Hall of Sermon, otherwise belonging to the same Tilo Wolff.
When Tilo, a German citizen of Switzerland, worked on his second album, had exactly the same age as me, or 20th This is what makes listening to songs from the album "Einsamkeit," referring to singing as a young man of exceptionally talented peer. Though, of course, this is a certain degree of simplification. As I have written, CD "Einsamkeit" comes from 1992, and I, a woman born in 1991, when I was one year old.
In this text I would like to describe all the songs from this album Lacrimosa. There are six, and each of them belongs to a genre called dark wave - dark wave. Here are titles of the songs: "Tränen der Sehnsucht "(" Tears of longing ")," Reissende Blick "(" jerking eyes ")," Einsamkeit "(" Solitude ")," Diener eines Geistes "(" Servant of the one spirit ")," auf die Loblied Zweisamkeit ( "The song of praise about loneliness in a couple"), "Bresso" ("Sample"). Translations of these titles come from Stille.prv.pl.
"Tränen der Sehnsucht" - track partially reminiscent of classical music, since beginning a long, extensive instrumental parts played on the piano. After that, there is a characteristic feature of the species' dark wave - a grim background music and singing equally exceptional young Tilo. "Tränen der Sehnsucht" also has a lively, cheerful chorus ironically, an interesting piece played on electric guitar and a moment of solemn, like a church organ. Key in the song are, however, lots of piano, composing talents presenting 20-year-old Wolff.
"Reissende Blick - composition, referring to the previous album Lacrimosa," Angst ", and more specifically to compositions Fri "Seele In Not. " As in "Seele ..." Here we hear something like rending, shaking the listener screams of the child. The piece itself is so moving, filled with tragedy, suffering, fear and a feeling of encirclement, it is hard not to "infect" him from such experiences. "Reissende Blick is one of my favorite songs, and not just because of the music, but also because of the word.
hero of the work is a young man who sits in the cinema of his life. " Although at that cinema will be shown a film about his existence, for him the same lack of space ("All the seats are taken. dostawionym itself resting on a chair. It came too many viewers). When biographical production starts, lyrical body suffers, watching again his past, while other viewers' burst out laughing. " The hero feels shame wants - colloquially speaking - to sink into the ground. Recovers serenity only when the screen appears his death. [Study on the translation of Tome Beksinski]
"Einsamkeit" - track the weakest of the album. A pity, because - judging by the title identical with the name of the CD - it is the most important of all six works. "Einsamkeit" based on the contrast and the grotesque: the first we hear pseudoradosną, circus tune (like the popular "Entry of the Gladiators!"), Then the sad song of T. Wolff, and later the same theme at the beginning.
As for the verbal layer, the song speaks of loneliness. The fact that she is sad and funny at the same time. Oh, grotesque. Although the composition of "Einsamkeit" should not be a success, it is rescued by one thing: it is that it indicates a direction of interpretation lacrimosowego emblem (TragiKomicznego, harlequin white on black background). It is a pity that this idea is based on an interesting track is so underdeveloped. Tilo should have given him more time.
"Diener eines Geistes" - track approaching, in terms of music, the light, gothic rock. People familiar with fine art Lacrimosa may resemble two compositions from 1993: "Alles Luge" and "Erinnerung". An interesting procedure used in the song is to use sounds as if "real-life" namely, the sounds of laughter and a toast speeches tudziez playing with a companion.
As for the text, the song "Diener eines Geistes" tells the story of hurt a man who wants to - in a very unconventional way - to take revenge on his ex ("I'm screaming in your head. Shatters your skull from the inside. Feel your pain. Feel its hatred . Show me your wounds. And I start to bleed again "- the crowd. Tekstowo.pl). The song features play an important role, demented, screeching cries of Tilo Wolff.
"Loblied auf die Zweisamkeit" - composition of an extremely beautiful, extremely deep and extremely dark. It begins with a very high, metaphysical rozchodzącymi sounds in space, bringing to mind a combination of feng shui bells with the sounds of breaking glass. Connoisseurs of this type of music they can associate sounds with certain works by American duo The Switchblade Symphony ("Bad Trash", "Gutter Glitter").
Another effect that we hear in "Loblied Zweisamkeit auf die" is very grim, low and pulsating music generated by the computer or keyboard. The music is a bit like processed bodies. Then, to our ears reach the characteristic murmur, many associations are a bit of noise of the sea. The whole composition "Loblied Zweisamkeit auf die" is a powerful and comprehensive definition of "dark wave" - \u200b\u200b"dark wave". It is worth noting that the song also appear in special effects, such as exotic, tribal, probably magical songs.
"Bresso" - last composition from the album "Einsamkeit", a corresponding well with the first, because based on the sound imitating the piano and classical music. The song is very melancholy, and Tilo Wolff's theatrical vocals, as 20-year-old artist sings in such a way as if recited the poem on the stage. There's no denying that, "Bresso" there is some similarity to poetry.
is an important element of the work piece, in which Wolff literally weeps, sobs, sighs and cries of despair. In the background you hear not only the piano, but also the poignant sounds of violins. It is worth mentioning that on YouTube.com, the Romadera profile, there is a clever, well executed, and standing at a high level of artistic video clip "Lacrimosa - Bresso (creation of fans.) It is worth to watch it, the more that he uses symbolism characteristic of the Lacrimosa.
my opinion, Tilo Wolff's second album is very good, but not sensational. In addition to the brilliant songs such as "Loblied Zweisamkeit auf die" or "Reissende Blick", it contains a failed "Einsamkeit." Despite this, I would recommend it to all the people who like this type of musical flavors. They should know it lubujące especially those in the new, very different from the old songs Lacrimosa.
