The Swedish duo of Emil Holmström and Peter Wikström provides a picturesque glimpse into an intimate life of indie music. More profoundly, what happens behind the veiled walls of advanced indie pop, being comparable with the path at the point of the second half of the 80s regarding Talk Talk and also more restrained moments of Simon Jeffes' led Penguin Cafe Orchestra come to mind. And if you implement imagination of how could sound Pygmalion (by Slowdive) in the middle of nature then it is for you. Bamboo flutes, bird chirping, gusts of wind, the flood of water, and exquisite swathes of sea waves are intertwined with lone guitar chords, sparse drumming and slowed-down strings. It is said by the Chinese if you want to learn to play the bamboo flute the best teacher for it is the wind. I guess the album may be a case of that learning process (particularly at Garden Of Bliss). All in all, superb revelation through sound and nature. It is an example of perfect New Age. The fabulous one is a notch in the discography of Constellation Tatsu.
