On Night Falls from Hecq the lights go out. It is completely dark on this new album of Hecq and in that darkness the most beautiful compositions with romantic melancholic atmospheres unfold themselves. On Night Falls Hecq presents ambient in optima forma to which one could almost compare this intense sounding soundscape music to romantic classical music. The strings, piano, and choir sounds add to this impression. On Night   Falls really great melodies can be heard and only some sporadic clashing non-symphonic sounds. Sometimes there is a point of rest with subtle electronic glitch sounds, but the next moment the orchestral bombastic sound returns which characterizes many moments on Night   Falls. It makes the music overwhelming and intense sounding at points. Night   Falls seems to be a very personal album too, as it addresses the sentimental and it is justified to state that it is a monumental album in Hecq’s discography.
