Windbuchen

Lord Lovidicus

Lord Lovidicus' first album (a short album, or a long EP?) is surprisingly minimal and chilled out considering his later 30 minute trumpet sessions. It peaks with track two Gazing Upon Night Sky From Dungeon Halls which really gets it right in terms of undemanding background music. The next track, Within The Castle Garden continues in the same vein. The cover & the multipart mini epic are less engaging, there are some good bits in the latter but also some really annoying stereo panning and problems with repetition. The album ends on a high note, however with a nice bit of winter synth: A Frozen Landscape (Outro) I can't remember if LL returned to this style ever. In summary, not the best LL album, but the three linked tracks are definitely worth a listen.
