| | 'The Dark' is out right now and getting great reviews, like this one, from our always reliable friends at Norman Records:
"Aw man, the dark lord Matt Elliott is back with a brand new epic new album on Ici D'ailleurs. After a big hiatus recording as the 3rd eye filling in the gap with a few ace solo albums he's back! It's ace too. It a nutshell it's swirling melodies over drum 'n bass beats. It sounds like the orchestral business he's picked up from his solo albums is here in spades and it's covered by some mangled fractured splintered beats. I love this album but some folks will find it a difficult listen as it's kinda oppressive and not massively easy listening. The melodies are lush though and over the 5 tracks (which all seemingly merge into one) you get sucked into a dark world of paranoia and beauty at the same time. Quite a feat I reckon as I'm sure that's not an easy thing to do. There's loads of strings in there to keep me happy and you neo-classical heads who fancy a a bit of a large up might dig this. It reminds me of the Spymania stuf but haunting classical arrangements carefully layered over the tracks. It's done brilliantly and with song titles like 'If you Treat Us All Like Terrorists We Will Become Terrorists' it probably gives you an idea of what you're letting yourself in for..... He's not a happy chappy and this is not a happy album but there's some delightful moments in there. I can't wait to take it home and check it out on vinyl. - Phil"Go there and get it now. |

| | Ici D'Ailleurs will be releaseing the new
Third Eye Foundation album The Dark on November 8th. What it will sound like? From the press release:
The Dark is both a direct continuation on from Little Lost Soul and a definite move in a new direction. The shape and the soul of The Dark is at the same utterly classical and contemporary. Made up of five movements which merge into one another seamlessly, at times thundering dub-step, at others pulsating drum and bass at others a blissful soundscape at other points a combination of all of those elements and more.Stay tuned for more... |
