Press release from the Ultimae website:
Nova honours the legacy of 2005 Albedo with another outstanding narrative-driven compilation showcasing more intimate yet intriguing fresh sounds. [ Imaginary Friends ] features a melange of styles, different facets of ambient electronica infused with neo-classical moods, acoustic sensibilities, epic melodies and impressionistic textures and tempos for a vibrant and overall warm feel.
As always emphasis was put on gathering original and tailor-made compositions from a variety of well-known artists on Ultimae and interesting newcomers such as Murya from Iceland, offthesky from the US, to create a musical palette that shares Nova's own eclectic and unconventional vision. "With Imaginary Friends I've wanted to speak about solitude but not seen as alienation, disillusionment or isolationism. Loneliness somehow involves the release of human spirit and the consequent building of a new paradigm. Personal moments, like to plug in a pair of headphones and go for a walk in a park, sitting in a café watching passers by or when writing a poem. Poetry is not a simple form of art, no matter what language is. It requires some skill, a bit of logic, and lots of heart: it's about intensity, like ambient music."
The Imaginary Friends are Field Rotation (Germany), Kevin Andrew (Indiana), Rena Jones & Nalepa (Oregon and California), offthesky (Kentucky), Murya (Iceland), Cell (France), Aes Dana (France), Hol Baumann (France), Asura (France), Solar Fields (Sweden) and James Murray (England).
This Audio Poetry mastered by Vincent Villuis comes with 3 parts digipack and 16 pages booklet presenting original pictures from Stefano Terranova, Maya Berthou, Ysabelle Gomez and poems from Nova.

Very melancholic negative emo music. 
I hope Ultimae will not go further in this direction.

I thought that this time I won't listen to the samples,so that way I will listen to CD when it's completely fresh when I will get it from Ultimae, but I couldn't help myself so I listened to the samples twice and it sounds amazing ! very special and with a lot of soul and atmosphere within it.
I think that Nova once again searched,chose and mixed some very unique,beautiful,fresh and innovative tracks from excellent artists from all around the world.
I look forward to dive into this tale which sounds very promising !
cheers !

The samples seem very moody and introspective. Perfect music for the upcoming rainy, cold, and gloomy weather as fall settles in here in my area. |

Not yet in the mood for this introspective music; maybe I still need some sun, although it is getting colder and colder Let's wait and hear. |

well,I'm more of a winter,fall person so this will be good for me,though I love all seasons.
I think that with every release from Ultimae you can feel the diversity of this label and it's artists.
the Ultimae team and artists are constantly going to new directions and exploring new point of views and at the same time still maintaining the Ultimae unique sound and vision while they are always developing,evolving and expanding their musical horizons. and by that they are constantly offering us something special and beautiful to expand our horizons with,and I'm very grateful for that.
I think that there is no exception here with " Imaginary Friends ",I'm sure that this is going to be another sonic,visual delight from Nova and Ultimae. |
