BRUME - L'ombilic des Rêves

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Taalem alm 145 Release Year: 2024 Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info https://taalem.bandcamp.com/album/lombilic-des-r-ves-alm-145 The nightmare is a theme that interested the medical field very early on. The first mentions in medical texts are already found in the writings of Hippocrates. But the nightmare has also fueled popular folklore from the ancient period to the present day. The meaning of the term nightmare is to be taken here in its original meaning. Etymological analysis allows us to distinguish two elements. The term “cauche” is the Roman form of the Latin calcare, meaning “to crush” The term “mar” derives from the Germanic term ''mahr'', which refers to a ghostly entity riding a horse. This spirit has the habit of surprising the sleeper in his sleep to trample him from his horse and kill him. The horse theme is also found in the English language: doesn’t night mare literally mean “mare of the night”? Nowadays, the nightmare corresponds to the notion of bad dream of the first meaning of the nightmare. From antiquity until the end of the 19th century, nightmares designated a completely different neuropsychological disorder. The constant elements noted throughout the descriptions of the nightmare, whatever the country and the historical period, are the following: sudden awakening, with a feeling of suffocation, chest tightness, heavy feeling and intense anxiety that can be severe, accompanied by a feeling of imminent death. A temporary paralysis of the limbs accompanies the picture. Sometimes the vision of supernatural beings in the bedroom or the feeling of sexual areas being touched completes the picture. Presented in a recycled cardboard gatefold sleeve with a photo sticker on the front and an insert inside. Limited to 250 handnumbered copies. music merch community l'ombilic des r​ê​ves [alm 145] by BRUME Wishlist supported by ChociLoni thumbnail ejharnish thumbnail Creighton Jenkins thumbnail Martin Friberg thumbnail eriekvanhavere thumbnail Howard Stelzer thumbnail asthmaticworm thumbnail Butrodo thumbnail Mac thumbnail Evangelos Evangelinos thumbnail awakeningproductions thumbnail noizaddict thumbnail Spectrasonic thumbnail marcheijmans thumbnail lejeune thumbnail fluxmonkey thumbnail mykel boyd thumbnail K Wright thumbnail elvampiro666 thumbnail belphegor thumbnail Sven thumbnail Marc Benner thumbnail melon-d thumbnail Rotting Floors thumbnail Alexander Prill thumbnail Chris Fox thumbnail CHRIS OSHI thumbnail jon dale thumbnail kevin1298 thumbnail utanfor thumbnail wp666 thumbnail imuzz thumbnail BCebelak thumbnail Robert Bresnan thumbnail gotham2020 thumbnail accideath 00:00 / 01:16 Streaming + Download Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. €7 EUR or more Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album package image package image package image Presented in a recycled cardboard gatefold sleeve with a photo sticker on the front and an insert inside.

Because it was a new album by Christian Renou, a.k.a. Brume, and well … I am a fan. And I don’t care what all of you think, but as always, I will write my reviews with a bit of distance towards my own opinion. Because that’s what a reviewer i.m.h.o. is supposed to do. The Taalem label, which we all know from the 3″ CDRs they’ve released for years and years, has stopped doing them, and after a year of silence, they’re now releasing full-length CDs in a minimal brown cardboard sleeve with a little imagery. Excellent and minimal as it was and still is. But instead of the approximately 20 minutes of the 3″ you get ‘full releases’ on CD or even 2CD. The same goes for the side label Kokeshidisk, by the way. Brown sleeve, minimal artwork. And with Desaccord Majeur, Murmer and Brume Taalem set the level high for all future releases. Taalem knows what he’s doing and mark my words: This label will have a catalogue of beauty if they keep building it like this. A paradise for drone heads like us. In my opinion, “L’ombilic Des Rêves” is a complex album. The reason is it’s very strongly themed on the theme of nightmares. But just as nightmares can (will?) be different each time you have them, the music on this album varies a lot. From chaotic ambience with horns to rhythmically driven short interludes, this album is a journey through the insides of your head. This album perfectly exemplifies Renou’s dynamics as an artist and sound designer. Sounds straight out of synths, manipulated field recordings, found footage / spoken word and the before mentioned horns or wind instruments on one hand, and the other side compositions with a lot of erratic changes, ambient approaches, long compositions (11 and 14 minutes) as well as shorter ones – 2 minutes and even one just over 1 minute – harmonics and dissonance … This album is lovely in its variation on so many levels. Personal favourites are “Hot Concrete / Turning To Nightmare” and ” Dreams Are Not Free”, but my oh my … Mr Renou did it again. And Taalem. Both. Chapeau. " [Vital Weekly]
