Beyond Words.....

"Have you ever started listening to an album and before you know it your eyes are shut and suddenly you seem to float away with the music in complete bliss? This is how I felt listening to The Golden Morning Breaks by Colleen. Truly sublime, passionate, and bueatiful. Like all Great albums, the more you hear it the more you love and enjoy it, hearing new things each time within the songs. Not since Sigur Ros'-() and Efterklang's- Tripper have I felt such bueaty and Tranquillity from an artist. The first Must-have album of the year. Just put on your headphones, press play, and let the music suck you away."
I'm going to start by saying...

"I'm going to start by saying that some people spend their whole lives looking for albums like this one.

(Search here).

This album pocesses a surreal sense of one's existance.

It is as if one were just born into their existance, and started searching empty space in the cosmological plane for miraculous force, and discovered music. Discovered music, so basic (or primitively honest to the human soul) -but beyond genius in its lucid complexity that they felt all this profound and inexplainably complex emotions, and the feeling was more real than anything else they had ever expirenced. The expirence, the profound emotions, then became a part of them, creating a depth of thought that had just been realized. Then one realizes that the feeling was one's very existance. The empty space becomes full and vibrant.

This album is for thinkers; I have yet to buy her first album, but i think understand her title: Everyone Alive Wants Answers. This is an album to think to (though not as backround noise).



Thus said, I feel obligated to say that before one can embark on this journey of self-discovery, one must understand the music(at least to some degree). And as previous reveiwers have stated, the music is "simple"(lucid would be much more suited to describing it), however it is so original that one can't understand the music until they have listened to it to the point of understanding.

(So forget all your premises for good music as they are prejudices!)

I think that if people had never heard any music before they would understand this far better than the musiophilles who will stumble about this brilliant work.

It took me more than a week of listening to this ablum to understand it.

I remember the moment vividly: It was on track 6 and i was staring at the stars, thinking about the stars' light how it was just reaching my eyes from hundreds of light years away -from hundreds of years ago and how everything i was seeing was no longer how the universe truely existed, i was seeing the remnant of possibly deceased stars and the wake of the passing universe. Then the beauty of the music hit me and moved me nearly to tears.

love and gratitude,

Gregory

"This is truly a beautiful album. Obviously very different from mainstream music. It forces you to block everything out and to just focus on sound. it takes you away to another place. i recommend closing your eyes while listening to it. "Colleen" is a very artistic and intuitive person. I hope everyone enjoys it as i did."
