STILLE VOLK (FRA)"Ex-uvies" (1998) [HOLY REC.] Playing time: 43.15"
The French elves are come back! They have been on the moon and with "Ex-uvies" album they present to us the more and more original and innovative sounds they have found there. Probably someone will not able to understand their enigmatic and enchanting music but who appreciated the folk/ambient metal eccentricities in their debut album "Hantaoma" will really enjoy to explore "Ex-uvies" too as it still contains a lot of evocative folk parts as in the instrumental song "Selena Koronna": the harmonious union between past & future, reality and fantasy. Besides this I have to make my congratulation to "Le Studio d'Albret" as the recording is really strong but clear about every instruments. If you like to listen to different kind of music, going over the bound of metal and maybe beyond reality this is the album for you! (Interview and an interesting Patrice's article in these pages!)
