Christian Fennesz is a true innovator when it comes to glitch music. His contemporary plays have the power to create splendid dreamscapes, while retaining the rough edges with the insertion of glitch interjections. His album 'Black Sea' is - in my opinion - his masterpiece. Songs like Vacuum (a dreamy, ethereal melody lingering in the distance) and Black Sea (glitch chaos, then a calm, the eye of the storm) describe the volatility, proper to this album's nature. In a way, it resembles nature. In other ways, it resembles man, who is more often than not less than steadfast in his path. Lush, atmospheric but at no point boring, listening feels like drowning - in a peaceful, submitting way - and fading out into internal slumber. I always find myself reluctant to escape the 'druggy high' as the record draws to a close. It's a place I'd like to reside in forever.

I have no heard a record that has captured the feeling of the sea better then Fennesz Black Sea. Gorgeous and lush but quite boring. Not the normal 'post rock boring' but the album in itself is quite anti climatic, which its necessarily bad but I can think of half a dozen parts where I was ready to have my breathe taken from me, but then it just finished. Still though, gorgeous!
