In Progress

1989 has been reviewed by the Romanian edition of the magazine Esquire, the newspaper Cotidianul.ro and some blogs, including this lovely one, translated as roughly as possible by Google here. Best bit?

“Know a 13 pieces, including “Goldenage” is an ironic song about the glory of a golden era of black fucking black, born in the blood and sweat in the laboratory of a mad adept. “Security” – a sound absurd, such as generated by a bruiaj of radio waves, which progressively increase in intensity and get that feel close to the material, somewhere behind cefei, like the eyes of the trackback unseen. The irony has made the iPod to serve me just when passing through pia?eta of the former county party, where the dictator used to support the speeches occasioned by the various visits by Brasov.”

Pretty cool, huh? Don’t forget to check out the album for free or for purchase on the Disparition site!

Album Description

A portrait of the last days of the Communist era in Eastern Europe, 1989 takes its form and mood from the dramatic decline of the Ceausescu regime that dominated Romania for over two decades. The album is structured around compositions on the Yamaha DX-11 synthesizer, samples of archival footage from the Romanian Revolution, and modern found sounds to create an aural investigation of national identity.
