A Haunting Masterpiece
One of my favorite albums of any genre, Fog Tropes/Gradual Requiem is an unforgettable, beautiful work with a wide variety of moods from gloomy foghorns to bright mandolin. It is fascinating and groundbreaking, yet infused with rhythm (fast, slow or in between) that holds the listener's attention throughout. In Gradual Requiem, we feel the cycles of grief (Marshall dedicated the album to his late father) alternating between despair, recovery, and resolution. The album that made me a fan of Ingram Marshall.
Shadows & Fog
The only two adjectives I can think of to describe this recording seem mutually exclusive; 'creepy' and 'beautiful!' Marshall's early soundscapes are intensely captivating and moving. Ever wonder what the Chicago Symphony's brass section would sound like at the bottom of Lake Michigan? Listen to _Fog Tropes!_ All three pieces on this disc are very strong, and should appeal to fans of contemporary 'art' music and ambient music alike.
a great discovery
I was so happy to discover this. I listen to it often. Since then I have picked up many of Marshall's other CDs.
Anyway, the other ***** reviewers describe it perfectly and I don't think I could add anything except just to concur with their observations.
It is a music which has rhythms that you hear in everyday life.
