"On "Deathwanderings," Procer Veneficus appropriates drifting fugues from Chopin, Satie and Schubert and distorts them into beautiful smears of wistful ambience. These are pieces that, Derek notes, have " been examined, assembled, and deconstructed into cavernous resonance. Originally intended for use as a soporific, this is music for worlds of ice constructed in the deepest recesses of the mind, and for wanderings at the threshold of death." Not a million miles off from recent Andrew Chalk recordings, and gorgeous as all hell."
"Procer Veneficus appropriates drifting fugues from Chopin, Satie and Schubert and distorts them into beautiful smears of wistful ambience"
that utter chod is reason alone to not listen to this.

I can see why someone would like this, but it isn't for me.
It isn;t relaxing- it is kinda menacing and vaguely scary. If ambient isn;t relaxing I don't really see what enjoyment I could get out of it. It's not crap, though- quite interesting.

It's just promoting the album. The people/ person that made the music prolly didn't even write that...

Fairplay then! ^^
Like I said, it is interesting and well made, so I can see why someone would like it. It's just not for me.
Then again, I guess it'd kinda cool to listen to music that evokes scary scenes late at night and has you looking over your shoulder every 5 mins. Lol- I might give it another try! :D

well no shit. 10 points to captain obvious. hell, i might even let you wear the observation hat, as your powers of perception clearly excel the average human. despite what you rather smartly pointed out to the rest of use dimwits, it doesnt excuse the shear pomposity of it, let alone the fact it doesnt seem to bear any likeness to the music it is actually describing.

I have to say I've never seen a fugue by either Chopin, Satie or Schubert and I have a lot of sheet music by all of 'em. Out of the three Schubert seems the most likely to have written a fugue or two but I've never seen one.
