"Satura" - "Saturation" is the third (after the "Angst" and "Einsamkeit") studio album by the Swiss group Lacrimosa. And actually, it's not a group, just the same Tilo Wolff, because in those days, the year 1993, Lacrimosa was single artistic endeavor. "Satura," like the two previous discs and counts six long songs. These works belong to the species of dark wave, but sometimes become similar in sound to gothic rock.
CD is discussed latter, in which Tilo Wolff as soloist - the next album, including the single "Schakal" will no longer contain the voice coming from Finland, Anne Nurmi. Let's look at all six songs from the album "Satura". Let's see what it offers us a Swiss of German origin, called by many experts, "a musical genius." Let's find out why you should listen to Lacrimosa, Gothic legend broad.
"Satura" - the most important song of the album. It begins with a rather solemn sounds of piano, which then joins the instrument String - a little sad, a little sentimental. Then, this klawiszowo-string duo is supplemented by a drum machine, growling electric guitar and a little intriguing church bells. Finally there is the voice of Tilo Wolff, who is the same as playing in the background music: partly sad and partly sentimental. But in the song, in addition to sadness and sentimentality, will also feel the tenderness and passion.
This is understandable, since "Satura" stands for "saturation" in the text of the song fall declarations such as "Finally, I felt a desire for life. I want you to feel - to touch you. But I'm afraid of. I'm afraid. I close my eyes. I see the twilight of my soul, looking for you. I touch only the pain that is in me. Alone in these halls. Just you and me "(source: Tekstowo.pl). In my opinion, music composed by Wolff, driven by a perfect match for his subject. Sounds "Satury", like other works of Lacrimosa, facilitate understanding of the speaking and empathy in the situation.
"Errinerung" ("Memories") - a completely different track, not only from the "Satury" but also from most of the songs that I heard in my entire life. "Lyrics" - because "Errinerung," as distinct from the rest of the composition of the panel in question, has the division between verses and choruses. The song "Memory" begins with strange, pulsating like laughter, and piskami stęknięciami children, then the light echo, like a cheerful, in fact, disturbing rock music. As for Tilo Wolff, the singing is often used on its distinctive, have conferred the goose screeching. Sometimes there is a single spawn him, other times the artist insanely screaming screeching voice.
whole song "Errinerung" is a grotesque, since contains terrible and funny. I think it can be described using the English word "creepy", for which, unfortunately, has no counterpart in the Polish language. As for the verbal layer, the song talks about an unpleasant memory, from which the lyrical subject can not escape. Do not know if this a correct interpretation, but the text "Errinerung" - coupled with the strange sounds of children - gives the impression of a man he molestowanym in childhood.
Can track team Lacrimosa actually talks about the former victim of a pedophile? It's hard to say. Stick to the argument that each recipient can have its own, even bizarre interpretation of the work. Me "Errinerung" leads to such reflection, and someone else may lead to entirely different. What's wrong with that, the recipient sees in the art of what he wants to see?
"Crucifixio" ("The Crucifixion") - a song very provocative, because referring to the Scripture and the mixing of the sacred realm of the sphere profane. The first effect that we hear in the song is dark and disturbing beating of church bells. Then, to our ears reach very high, while the sad sounds generated by a computer / keyboard sounds and ... nailing. At the end of Tilo Wolff begins to sing about his perverse sexual needs, and more that he wants to be loved, hanging on the "cross of love."
song ends with more or less as it begins - the high, bleak yet enriched with the sounds of church bells and the sounds of hammering nails. In my opinion, "Crucifixio" is - in terms of music - the weakest song from the album "Satura". However, in terms regards contents is not very original, because the combination of religious symbols in human sexuality appears in songs and music videos very often (in modern times this treatment is used like Lady Gaga).
"Versuchung" ("Temptation") - one of my favorite music. Composition, as discussed earlier, "Crucifixio" begins with church bells beat. Then I heard a gloomy, rhythmic music, through which pierces anxious impatience and expectation, as well as by the growing excitement.
Song with time becomes more and more restless, and finally begins to sound crazy - Tilo Wolff insanely fast and screaming that his screeching, a schizophrenic voice. When the climax comes to an end, the tension created by the music begins to fall. While earlier gradually increased, it is now quite rapidly declining.
As in "Saturze" in "Versuchung" musical layer to layer is adequate verbal. The song speaks for a man who, against their will, is very sexually aroused and suffer because of this ("I'd rather die than live those suffering once again" - the crowd. Tekstowo.pl). Lyrical entity, being in such a state, completely losing his mind, no longer control myself and the woman who drove him to madness, calls "the enemy".
man is unwell, being so excited, the more that he can not satisfy their carnal desires. Text "Versuchung" ends with a repetition of the initial statement: "I would rather die than live those suffering once again. " The work is therefore a composition braces.
"Das Schweigen" ("Silence") - track different from the other both musically and regards contents. It begins with a dark, very gloomy sound, which soon joins the piano (the whole composition plays a crucial role.) "Das Schweigen," a melancholy ballad, which raises the problem of verbal layer of hatred and division among people.
From this layer emerges a picture of a verbal war - Entity lyrical singing about "the destruction all over the place," "rupture, which divides the galaxy like a race," stinking streets of blood "and" mouth begging for mercy "(source: Tekstowo.pl). The song ends with a very nice, sweet and touching tune, in which - in my opinion - is a little bit of hope and serenity.
"Flamme im Wind" ("The Flame in the wind") - Lacrimosa another work which I really like. The song "Flamme im Wind" is very deep and metaphysical So if someone closes his eyes and in his carefully listens, it is likely to experience feelings of immersion in music. As for me, I love both these high, mysterious sounds, transfer me to "another dimension" and more rock fragments, guitar. I also like the way of singing Tilo Wolff, the inherited and sometimes trembling voice.
Anyone who knows Lacrimosa work, it knows that in terms of music, "Flamme im Wind" is the announcement of the next releases of this formation: the single "Schakal" and album "Inferno." As for the word in question work speaks of hope. The fact that "the dream never ends" and "is still worth waiting for" (source: Tekstowo.pl).
As you can see, the songs from the album "Satura" Lacrimosa constitute a whole. While the theme of the album "Angst" was fear, and "Einsamkeit" - loneliness, so much the topic of "Satury 'revolves mainly around human sexuality. Then, what is the nature of the album, "Satura," indicates its cover, depicting the interior of the temple, which occupies the place of the cross a huge figure of a naked woman. Cover This is a very simple idea: bringing a beloved person of the divine worship, or its body. We can say that the third CD is called Lacrimosa. concept album because it is based on a clearly defined and consistently pursued the idea of \u200b\u200bart.
period of greatest fascination Lacrimosa going through in high school. Now, when I was a student, I find this team a second time. Fond of both the old Tilo Wolff's works, such as those from "Satura" and a new, recorded in recent years. As for Anne Nurmi, I like it slightly less than Tilo (and I'm not in this alone. The majority of listeners prefer Wolff Lacrimosa). But Lacrimosa is not the only team that played in my life a big role. There are several other formations, which are of great importance to me.
