簡介。。。。。。
With the astounding quality of releases that have appeared on Type recently, it would be easy to become blasé over their output. Deaf Center shake you from any such complacency - delivering here a record that will be extremely hard to beat as album of the year for 2005. Apparently inspired by "old silent 8mm film reels and historical architecture", the Norwegian duo of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland have produced a lambent debut that recalls the likes of William Basinski (particularly the 'Disintegration Loops' indebted 'Lobby'), Marsen Jules and Harold Budd. Over layers of warmly battered aural sediment, Deaf Center build the kind of vista-expanding, piano tinged music that has you thinking you're in your very own film. Manifesting itself in the stravaig and epic iciness of 'Thread', or the etiolated Nyman piano of 'White Lake', Deaf Center have a seemingly bottomless supply of aural dignity and pathos on which to draw. Other highlights include the tense strings and snatched choirs of 'Stone Beacon', the thrumming piano of 'Loft' and the soaring orchestral pomp of 'Thunder Night'. Just incredible music.

Deaf Center are two Norwegian friends Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland. Old school friends, they finally decided to write music together and ended up creating the phenomenal 'Neon City' EP.They have received rave reviews in De:Bug and online electronic magazines.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:8.0/10
如同這張專輯的名字Pale Ravine一樣,音樂呈現著廣博又蒼涼的氛圍,Deaf Center努力營造著莊嚴凝重亙古不變的歷史感以及充滿雄偉氣質的古典厚重感,收集著幾乎所有華美的聲音,精致細膩,令人感覺自己仿佛真的行走在千年的蒼幽峽谷中,獨自地尋找著被人們遺忘的傳説一般,深邃神秘。
