The atmosphere the music of The Use of Ashes reflects is organisc, psychedelic and contains traces of popmusic, shoegazer, krautrock and electro. The music is somewhat comparable with Radiohead and Spiritualized, though more experimental. The music is dreamy and invokes images of a magical dreamworld, in which there’s place for dark soundcolors as well as light-footed tones. This is the fifth cd of this bnd that has experienced quite a tumultuous development after the Mekanik Kommando era with line-up changes, but also a tour with Porcupine Tree. The Use of Ashes seem to be back for real. Musically one can not trace the bad luck this band has experienced as the sound is very fresh and the songs are professionally worked out. The cd needs to be listened to as a whole, it has cool dynamics on which it is nice to go with the flow. This is an excellent record!
