31032014 - Nils Petter Molvær "Switch"

I remember when Nils Petter Molvær released his album "Khmer" in 1997. I really loved that album. It was music to set or enhance the mood, the soundtrack to tropical sunrises, arctic sunsets, rainfalls in the rain forests and similar beautiful moments in nature. You get my drift. Now he has released that album again. An you know what? It's not very exciting. It's very pretty, and you can still see those tropical arctic rain forests and the sunrise sunsets, but it's just empty prettiness. Mood pieces. Wallpaper. The paint drying on a really nice painting. Valium. Buddha Bar Lounge music.
