raubbau proudly features one of the most respected artists in the ambient genre
– for over two decades german duo troum have taken the clues from their dreams
and translated them into a transcending sound of majestic beauty. their drone-
based compositions are mostly on the calm and soothing side, but never lack a
little edginess and experiment to spice things up.
the "vorbei der tod" lp clocks in just over 40 minutes and emphasizes a sacral,
ceremonial approach. troum follow their hands-on approach of using acoustic
instruments and guitar sounds rather than electronics, and create a universe
of sound from there: according to its thematic backdrop the a-side is dominated
by what seems like the residue of organ sounds and religious chants, whereas
the b-side is more serene, immersive and hallucinatory, before the final "theme
dream" provides a ceremonious finale. the lp format is definitely the perfect
fit for this material.
one is simply baffled just how expressive and captivating music so quiet and
roomy can be. put on repeat to discover more of those little details, and rest
assured: death is over.
