Description: for those, who know Have a Nice Life band, producing some good drone and shoegaze music, this unofficial tribute album would be very good. First of all because you can rarely meet tribute albums to really underground bands, the second reason will be that this album is really well produced. None of covers can be picked out as inaccurately done or poorly interpreted. Whole album is a solid compilation, that totally describes what Have a Nice Life music is.

loaded energy - winterphantasie

loaded energy - winterphantasie

Genre: Ambient/Drone Ambient/Soundscape

Format: mp3 | CBR128kbps

Country: Germany

Size: 35 Mb

Tracklist: 

01. winterphantasie

Description: loaded energy is a completely underground drone ambient outfit of Attila Varga, a musician from Germany. So obscure that you can hardly find the album cover arts, and information about the project on any of webpages is very poor. At the same time, project's discography reaches 5 albums, published on last.fm, which is really impressive. 

Winterphantasie is a 39 minutes one-track album (or EP whatever), a brilliant work which is a perfect example of what sonic soundscape is. It feels like author has taken a brush and slowly painted a blurry and sleepy winter picture. Progressive and slow hypnosis of the first winter snow, and bleakness, bleakness, bleakness. This is not another sunny day full of shiny white drops. Hypnotic, but in some moments hopeful, this track is nothing else than 39 minutes of pure magic, caught in audio waves. Highly recommended to give it a try. You can find loaded energy music and download it for free/listen it for free using links below:
