Memories

    From Berlin, Diana Leonhardt and Riccardo Zimmerman [Terminal Choice] bring us minimal orchestral semi-gothic arrangements with Klang Abstrakt on "Beam". All tracks are instrumental with the exception of "Holy" where Diana sings. Enchanting, orchestral and melancholic, "Beam" stirs up dark synthphonic and [somewhat] classical arrangements.
    A few tracks are more intense in terms of beat and rhythms which range from a soft militant march to rolling pulses with hydraulic percussions. The background layers are deep [sometimes rumbling or thunderous] bass synth, melodic in part, and diffused at times with synth effects, keys, strings [cellos], swirling ambient harmonics and angelic choir.
    This release is moody, powerful and quite beautiful. It is varied and diverse, yet track by track, the overall composition flows while supporting a rich theme of dark ambient soundscapes. It has good production and a high quality of sound. If you enjoy this type of music, I'd recommend getting any or all of Klang Abstrakt's releases and/or MP3s where available. "Beam" is a release not to miss.
