Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Review by hathaipat wanthong
Charlemagne Palestine's Strumming Music is a unique and mesmerizing album that showcases the artist's impressive skills as a composer and performer. The album features two long pieces, each over 20 minutes in length, that are built around repetitive patterns of strumming on a single note or chord. Despite the minimalism of the compositions, the music is rich with texture and emotion, creating a hypnotic and immersive listening experience.
Palestine's use of piano and other instruments, such as bells and gongs, adds depth and variety to the tracks, while his vocalizations provide a haunting and otherworldly quality. The album's title track is particularly captivating, with its pulsing rhythms and intricate layers of sound.

Came to this video because of an interview with Michael Gire about his most favorite albums. Gotta say, there is so much of Swans in this one (either that or the other way around)!
I followed Swans here.
