Talvekoidik is Estonian and it means ‘ a foggy, winter like atmosphere’. Talvekoidik is the IDM electronica side-project of Kai, who’s better known as one half of the industrial duo S.K.E.T. With Talvekoidik Kai makes warm atmospherical glitch electronica with influences from groups such as Gridlock and Beefcake merged with elements from world music taken from the musical traditions of the Baltic region, Africa and The Middle-East. The subtle rhythm patterns, breaks and crisping glitch sounds support the accessible melodies of synthesizer and piano, to which a Celtic undercurrent delivers an epic touch. Listen for instance to ‘ Rough   Baltic   Shore ’ or 'The Cliff'. It is produced very intricately since the music is really seductively catchy, despite the industrial, breakbeats and IDM elements. At moments you will feel really moved by the music. Symphonic neo-classical parts and strings keep the balance perfectly intact, as is illustrated in ‘Eismeer’ and ‘Goodbye of the Certainty’. This album is of a high quality and therefore perfectly fits in the Brume label roster. The only disadvantage I think, are the industrial noise remixes by Heimstatt Yipotash, 16pad Noiseterrorist and Fragment King at the end of the recording which totally take down the effect of the album. These could have been left out, and then the grade would have been a point higher. Silent Reflections is very much recommended to fans of Gridlock, Beefcake or Displacer.
