Title: Tribute To Hastia
Format: CD
Label: Lucioléditions [ lucioleditions {at} taalem {dot} com ]
Rated:

Active since the early nineties, Internal Fusion during the years released two tapes, several CDrs and an album titled "Om Vaira Sattva Hum" for Staalplat in 1996. TRIBUTE TO HASTIA is its latest album and it's a proper pressed CD released as a 300 copies limited run by Lucioléditions. The six tracks of the album build a mysterious atmosphere in balance from dark ambient and minimal experimental music with tribal influences. Most of the tracks offer a rich palette of sounds that mixed form a complex web of subtle noises, melodies, and distant rhythms. Anyone named Lustmord of the "Paradise disowned" period? Well, the atmosphere can recall those recordings and Internal Fusion is able to face the comparison without losing. So, is this album that good? Well, kind of... "NoxTaNaHem", "Topo" and "Tooki" offer a great mix of tribal/ambient/ritualistic atmosphere and "Vahid", "OmniPilaNem" and "Hastia" with their 13 minutes length need time to be fully appreciated because on those ones the minimal approach reaches its top and you have to be patient to wait for their develop from a dark ambient humming form into something more interesting and rich but all of them have great sounds.
