"Soehngen" is the following project of "Soehngenetic", the man behind both is Christoph Soehngen from Germany. Many people love his unique style of dirty organic sounding ambient and downbeat music.
Christoph Soehngen: "This one may be my most organic and atmospheric album so far. Recorded & produced digitally and mixed analogue on a quite heavy mixing desk using much old FX and some more toys".
A huge live recording that is making a great dissection of Angelo Branduardi's career (up to 'Gulliver'). This lengthy live record is a bit of an oddity: for a folk or progressive rock or italian music enthusiast it could be considered a gem. The biggest flaw - in my opinion - is actually the same characteristic that could be applied to the entirey Branduardi's catalogue - it's a bit soft , even from a folk point of view I think it's often missing the 'beef'. But don't let that discourage you, it's not 'new agey', and it's not to poppy neither. Musicianship is great - and if you enjoy RENAISSANCE for their technical side, you will enjoy this one too, it's only less 'hollow'.

She is wild and eccentric, with a courage to create beauty. h I l d e is Julia Brussels (violin), Marie Daniels (voice), Maria Trautmann (trombone) and Emily Wittbrodt (cello). All four are part of the The Dorf & Umland collective.
