I am now hearing the album Air from Agua de Annique, and I will let you know my first immpressions...

Beautiful One - [9.5]
Very good music, and a candidate for the best in this album. Anekke's voice gives this music a melancholic atmosphere, like a cold sunset of autumn.

Witnesses - [10.0]
A smart rhythm. The lyrics are very interesting. Sounds to me with a little bit influence of industrial music, that does not have a melancholic atmosphere... maybe an agressive one.

Yalin - [7.5]
This track remembers me of 90's blues. Very good track. It makes me feel a little happy xD

Day after Yesterday - [9.5]
Another music that doesn't sound too melancholic. It's a good track to play (or not) when you break with your girlfriend =P... also, it sounds nostalgic... a good cadidate for the best?

My Girl - [8.5]
Another candidate (for me) to be the best of the album. It sounds a little sad, thought it has a faster rhythm compared with the previous tracks.

Take Care of Me - [8.0]
A very melancholic atmosphere. The slow rhythm and Anneke's voice gives a sad feeling. Made me feel like I were in front of a fireplace, in a cold rainy night.

Ice Water - [10.0]
Sad, slow, inconstant... and brilliant! Another track to hear (or not) when you break with your girlfriend. The chorus made me shiver. Another good candidate for the best of the album.

You are nice! - [9.0]
Very influenced by the music of The Gathering? Yes. Sad? Definitely not! But a fast track like that is crucial.

Trail Of Grief - [8.0]
Another with brilliant lyrics. Not much atmospheric like Beautiful One and Ice Water, but the... oh! A clime break!... continuing... but the chorus is very catchy, and it also remebers me of 90's blues.

Come wander with me - [6.5]
Being honest, I didn't like much this track. Sounds very nostalgic.

Sunken soldiers ball - [9.5]
The lyrics didn't sound very good to me. But the melancholic chorus and the gloomy backing-vocal gives a very profound atmosphere. Good candidate to be a single =P... one of the best of the album, dare I say. Remebers me of some sad brazilian music.

Lost and found - [8.5]
The piano suits perfectly. The lyrics are suggestive. Atmosphere? A nostalgic one could be. I didn't like much the drums in the second half of this track. Hear when you break with one friend.

Asleep - [7.5]
A little track, with 2 minutes and 29 seconds. Sounded like a lullaby to me. Maybe a good way to close an album.



Average: [8.6]

Very good album. I'm not used to hear alternative/atmospheric rock, so this could explain this average. These were my first impressions, they can be different in the future =P

Thanks for visiting!

EDIT 1 (05/Jun/2008): Correcting the tags - 'You Are Nice' to 'You Are Nice!', 'Come Wander' to 'Come Wander With Me' and 'Sunken Soldiers' to 'Sunken Soldiers Ball'. Strangely, they added wrong tags to some songs here on Last.fm.
