Wings Of An Angel - Satsangs In The Dark (2011)



/Darkwave, Avant-garde, Spoken world, Improvised music, World music, Mysticism/


Comment: Behind this project is Felix Kaplan, a musician from Israel, who presents his antagonism against the truth of gurus, educated specialists, artists and other warts who used to think they are most competent of deciding what must be right or wrong in this world. However, by listening to the current issue, I shall have to admit it continues the profound mysticism-veiled tradition of his previous album Requiem For An Anonymous Genius (The Breath Of Life, Carnal Annihilation And Miraculous Resurrection Of The Job Of Art). Sung or spoken in Hebrew, English and Russian, it is quite hard to understand should it be the opus in the praise of human being or not. By being and burning in hell is it the ban of him/her or not? The God is dead (is it?). All those mesmerizing verbal outputs are accomplished with the diverse scale of sonic structures (world music, improvised music, New Age, slowly breaking sounds, minimalism etc).
