The Liquid Sky
Artist: Noise Level
Album: The Liquid Sky
Year: 2009
CD#: 47448
Best Tracks: #1, #4, #9, #10, #11
Comments Overall: Ambient and mood music. Varies substantially from piece to piece. A couple of duds, but a couple of gems as well. Favorites are going to vary more widely than usual from listener to listener. The above are only mine.
1. Journey Within, 3:04 - Begins slow and somber, rises gradually, bleeds unexpectedly into something open and clear.
2. The Liquid Sky, 4:19 - Chaotic, voice-over mentions opium and sex, Mechanical sound backdrop.
3. Little Giant, 0:52 - Short piece, Calm and Calming, Dominated by a piano, Quiet.
4. The Rush (Love Interlude), 6:23 - Expansive, Soaring, Somewhat repetitive, Changes to become more rhythmic and earthy, People talking in English and French.
5. The Velvet Fist, 4:20 - A deep sound, heavy breathing, moves in and out of something incomprehensible, Awkward overall.
6. Submerged, 3:19 - Clear, simple, like something heard from inside a glass room, becomes more energetic about halfway through.
7. Voodoo Drone, 3:21 - Starts with tribal drumming, Ominous sounds layered on top, Claustrophobic, Picks up speed, ends with "hello"
8. Twilight, 2:37 - Clear, Underwater feel, opens up still further, Ends on a low note.
9. Teleportation Experienced During a Rave, 3:01 - Starts with electric sounds, moves into steady Rave-like beat. Very danceable. Opens up and then dissolves at the end.
10. Daydream, 4:18 - Opens quietly, builds slowly, picks up a smidge midway, but very ambient throughout.
11. Midnight Movie Meltdown, 7:12 - Audio tracks discussing space exploration over clam music, track becomes much darker, voices discus hermaphrodites, then infants, bizzarely science-fiction throughout, somewhat apocalyptic, music picks up substantially at the six minuite mark
12. Untitled, 7:10 - Audio doesn't begin for twenty seconds, quiet, slow beginning, slow throughout, very calm, very, very slow.
Note: The track listing on the back of the CD lists only eleven track names, but the CD has twelve tracks. I haven't been able to find a solution to the conundrum online, so I've simply assigned the last track a title "unnamed" and matched up the first eleven as indicated on the back. Numbers 9 and 11 are definently correct match-ups between track and name, so I'm assuming the solution works. Nevertheless I'm definently e-mailing the artist for confirmation.
