MP3DB.pro - L’Âme Immortelle - Momente (Limited Edition) (2012)

A moment is the highest form of existence. What is life but a
succession of single moments? Painful, beautiful, challenging,
rewarding glimpses in the eternal stream of existence. It is
these moments which we remember consciously, which we look back
upon at the end of our days. And whatever may happen, no one is
going to take these memories away from us. On "Momente" (English
translation: 'Moments'), L'AME IMMORTELLE immortalize exactly
these moments, build darkly shimmering monuments to these
essential happenings in life. Originally, the album was meant to
be simply called "L'Ame Immortelle". This consideration alone
shows what is to be expected on this feverishly awaited sign of
life from Sonja Kraushofer and Thomas Rainer: "Momente" channels
nothing less that the artistic essence of this outstanding
project. Ten pure songs, ten moments brimful of dramatic power
and dark atmospheres, presented by a choir of desperation, an
orchestra of doom. L'AME IMMORTELLE have always been masters of
drama û and nothing has changed here since their milestone
"Lieder die wie Wunden Bluten" (1997). And now, in 2012 the duo
know better than ever how to transfer musical roots into the
here and now, and present themselves in their best shape yet.
From the very beginning, it was the dance on the razor's edge,
the seemingly effortless act of balance between the most diverse
musical moments that rendered the band's matchless career so
exciting. And "Momente" does the honour to every point in L'AME
IMMORTELLE's career: it offers dark electro manifests full of
epic impact ("Banish"), dreamlike, melancholic gothic elegies
("No Goodbye") and pressing electro rock outbursts like the
ultimate "Stumme Schreie" successor "Dort Draussen". Never
before did a L'AME IMMORTELLE album sound more versatile and
more coherent at the same time, never before was it more
apparent why this band has had artists as support acts on one of
their numerous tours that have climbed to the peak positions of
diverse charts . It is impossible to determine how many of
todays' stars have been inspired by this band. "Momente" is the
worthy cementation of a legendary reputation, an authentic and
sensual snapshot looking back and ahead at the same time. For
this is but another moment on our way û with one elementary
difference: "Momente" will not pass away unheard. Ten moments
(plus one intro). Unadorned. Honest. An album of immense
emotional impact. The DVD-sized limited special edition,
contains the CD in digibook format (approx 14 x 21 cm) with
lavish "insideout" print. The 32-page booklet is semi-gloss art
print on high quality paper and includes all lyrics and
additional artwork. Hand-numbered and personally signed by Sonja
Kraushofer and Thomas Rainer. Strictly limited to 2000 copies.
