Nils Frahm and Anne Muller - 7fingers
Modern classical/Electronic
Wow... I've been cranking this album all week and I still can't get enough. It is a bit tough to get into because sometimes the decisions between the two genres are abrasive, such as at the start of the title song. They don't quite meld the expectations of the two genres beautifully - but that's what makes it great. It isn't a pitch perfect combination between the two but they work together amazingly. It's so easy to differentiate between the sounds but that makes it more interesting. As the album progresses it get's more and more clear but the build up to that point is amazing. It eventuates into a post-rocky style ignoring all the requirements for 'rock' music, but it is still handled well.
Great, consistent album. Highly recommended.
