Norway - Full Moon 50 - 11/11/00
Madrugada
Industrial Silence
Virgin
Madrugada is a new Norwegian group that
reflects the mood of the new millennium: atmospheric, introspective, fluid,
mysterious and sparse but elegant: A sort of melancholic road movie
sound-track under the Northern lights. industrial silence is the artistic
extension of the 4AD releases from the 80's (e.g., This Mortal Coil, Dead
Can Dance etc). Industrial Silence is not a new age release but a post-modern
one where the voice is used as an instrument in order to create
introspec-tive beauty that reflects a modern sensitivity. An extraordinary
mixture of American alternative rock and melancholy ala Chris Isaac, Mazzy
Star or Grant Lee Buffalo.
