RAPOON The Silent Trumpets

CD album | gg536
Founded in 1992 after Robin Storey left Zoviet France, Rapoon soon became an outstanding ethno-dark ambient project that has gained a cult following all over the world. More than 80 albums have been released over those nearly 30 years, some more beat driven, others more playful and with ambient sounds and ethnic influences. Rapoon has never stopped evolving - think of Cultural Forgeries, an album full of unplugged acoustic music. Or Downgliding, full of compositions on the piano. Recent Klanggalerie albums include Waiting by the River, an album that introduced vocals to the Rapoon sound, or Little Rocket Man which was inspired by the political situation in 2018 with Trump as president in the United States or Moka 24 inspired by the a 1920 night club in the TV series Babylon Berlin. The Silent Trumpets is Robin Storey's latest album and it carries all the Rapoon trademark sounds that we all love. The overall mood is mellow - a very beautiful recording. Full tracklist: 1. Real Life 2. Do You Want To Dance 3. The Silent Trumpets 4. I Love You 5. Escape To Light 6. Stars Over The Bosphorus 7.Morning Calls 8. Mishi Mishi 9. Light On You 10. Please Come Round 11. Nothing 12. The Light Has Gone. Price: € 20,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.

Zu Beats und Sound in endloser Variation als tönende Stimmungen oder Sphärenklang kommen auch hier ein elegisches Piano, ein spirituelles Sehnen mit Tabla und Sitar, eine wie mit Oud gezupfte Hüzün, Synthtrompetenmelancholie, feminines No No No more. Und, besonders rührend, sein eigener brüchiger Gesang: I hear the silence / I walk away / And in the distance / The silent trumpets play... I remember the cold nights, the dark eyes, the end...
