cotton wool

i recently purchased perhaps one of the most intricate albums i ever bought - or better the most intricate compilation/best of-thingie:
i don't know why i like this music that much. it's not even near my usual style - if you can talk about style when someone listens to the kind of music i listen to... err... let's start all over again...
cotton wool kicks off great. nice drums. really nice drums. really weird when you hear it for the first time. yet, really nice.
god bless... good for walking. and as i walk a lot with music in my ears, this is really really good. let me breathe it into you...
gold has a nice jazzy (is there an adjective to 'jazz'?) feel to it. i really love the moment when everything really kicks off. it's so clean and cool... really very much ocean's eleven!
gorecki is simply "one of the most beautiful love-songs ever" (amazon). develops to something really beautiful, really far above the clouds and all the problems down here. sounds as if it was specifically made for me to put into a soundtrack...
little things i love the beginning. "we're so busy hustling, bustling, chasing far away dreams we forget the little things". loud.
b line has a great start and an amazingly frightening video ;o) the version i bought comes with a dvd with all the videos they made and this is probably the strangest one. bada-bada-bada-bada-bada-bada...
lullaby is what it's called. really soft, with lots of ethereal-sounding strings and great lyrics
bonfire oh, the refrain, the refrain! did i mention that they have amazing lyrics?
heaven when you're walking through the dark, with stars above you, few street lamps to disturb everything and turn this song up, it fills your head, it guides your steps, it moves your heart. this could be heaven right here on earth...
one "two lives together, one soul deep resounding". that's how it is. that's how it should be. really great. speechless.
gabriel the one song i knew from lamb before buying this. brings remedy to those who need it, yet reminds you of the dark hours and, sometimes, intensifies them, makes them... even harder to bear...
angelica written, as i read, in a plane over ayers rock, australia, with claude debussy's "claire de lune" in mind and on tape. i like the twist, i love the feeling... it's definitely going to be on the "nacht voller angst"-soundtrack. definitely.
till the clouds clear reminded me of eva cassidy for some reason. at least the start did... the refrain is really really powerful. wow.
wonder has a great video. really soft, really nice, really fragile. beautiful.
please is probably the most familiar sounding track. i also like the refrain, though it's not that... well, not that special to me. it's a nice song, though!
stronger has a really techy feel to it. i love the mixture between these clean electronic beats and the strings... beautiful!
so... this album will remain in your memory for a long time. when i bought it, i didn't know what to expect. i had only listened to "gabriel" before and when i first heard the rest, it wasn't really my taste. but while copying a theater play, i had lots of time to listen to this album over and over again and... it grows. it gets bigger and better and more emotional with every turn of the disc. until it fills you. try it.
