Planète – Helix / Två Fontäner
That opening chime sounds like a tug boat’s bell, cutting through mist and heralds the impending watery tones of the proceeding nine minutes. “Nine minutes you say sir? I’ll have me some of that Planète, yes please.” The song becomes progressively less pretty as he adds layer after to layer but what it loses in crystalline clarity, it gains in rounded, warm energy. I even went and commissioned this short film to be made so that you can watch it on mute while listening to the below song. It cost me an arm and a small fortune but worth it if it helps you become the best ou that you can be. Dion Tartaglione has been producing ambient soundscapes under that mantle for a year or so now, garnering is share of critical praise in the doing. This week he announced new management, the nurturing hands of the Good Manners boys, and I suspect that with the right industry push, he’ll be playing boiler room sets in not the not too distant future.
BONUS B-SIDE
Nice moody soundscape, & splendid visual aid/music video procurement.
