Comment: by
listening to this 11-track outing by Ego Dome on Dusted Wax Kingdom I
started thinking of the effect of postmodernism as a contemporary
phenomenon. That everything used to be appearing in one, and vice
versa if to express it roughly. On the other side, if to follow a
philosophical principle that something to be established first of all
must have borders, without the limits there will exist nothing. Its
multiple nature is strength and weakness on the same coin. Music may
be a phenomenon which is partly above and beyond the aforementioned
contradiction and/or obstruction. More profoundly, what are the
characteristics of a very solid album today? Given that many
contemporary albums provide strong impressions during first listening
times, however, later their impact will fade away. By listening to
this New Hampshire, US-based artist I can hear piano ballads,
folktronic developments, suggestive scratches, velvety ambient
plateaus, chilled-out and trip-hop mixed spans, acid/nu
jazz-inflected chopped rhythms and calm cool jazz-esque woodwind
instrumentals. However, we need another criterion to separate the
chaff from the grains of wheat. This can only be synergistic power
which is going to sustain a thrill for further listening times as well.
I feel the issue is going to realise that goal.
