Ab Ovo - Mouvements

Ant-Zen, 2007
September 16th, 2013

Soundscapes and power (a little soft) rhythms, medolic-utted sequences with a down-tempo (ish) feel. Melancholic and distant, dark and rigid with all the ish ,ed and able out there. "In Some Ways" lurks somewhere near the end to define the duos approach to discretion and... good taste in vocal featuring!

Ab Ovo's style was that of a still emotion while wandering in dystopic highways. A cyberpunk surrounding with cyber-life itself near extinction. An ode to the last metal heads surviving the Scrapyard. Because of their choice not to wait for their doom silently but to ravage the scrap around them and join their cold bodies with pleasure.

Σφυγμοί που τρεμοπαίζουν και ουρλιάζουν από τη μονοτονία. Σφυγμοί που μάταια κρατάνε αυτή τη ζέστη. Τικ τικ τίκι τίκι τακ κάνει η καρδιά μέσα από καλώδια και ανακαλύπτει πάλι τη φωτιά κάτω από κρύα μέταλλα... Το ερώτημα για το αυγό και την κότα δεν έχει καμία σημασία.

«Mouvements are lonely and the most difficult part with the album was to secure some care and strength along the way» A phrase Ab Ovo may have said for the album, or they should anyway.

"Hemisphere", "You Are Very Far Now", "L'ecume D'un Soir", "The Long Tomorrow " and of course "In Some Ways" draw the attention in an album that fascinates for being discreet.
