酒酿丸子之八卦记忆碎片

Band - Serpentoria
Title - Withering Hopes
Label - Via Nocturna
Format - CDR
Year - 2006
Genre - Dark Ambient

Via Nocturna presents its first own release called: Serpentoria - "Withering Hopes". The music on the CD is a 45 minute collection of cold sound passages drawing the listeners into a dark land with their hypnotizing melancholy. The artist used mainly keyboards and some additional drums, as well as occassional sentimental bells.

Although music generated by Serpentoria might be tiring, as it's based on just one instrument, it may be interesting enough for you to sit back and relax, depending on your mood.
Some themes just end too fast. The tracks made me feel as if there was some culmination to come, something more attractive and memorable, but nothing like that actually happened. It's really a pity, as the record leaves us craving for something more.

The whole album is monotonous, leading us into a melancholical, brooding mood, thanks to the abovementioned methods. For the fans of the genre it's a must-listen, for those looking for new experiences - not really.

波蘭厰牌Via Nocturna的首張出品自然要提攜本土團體咯，Serpentoria的這張專輯也是其首張唱片，不過Dark Ambient這類風格音樂一般都不是我的菜，不過還好，我還能完整的把這張唱片聼完，縂比一般的強力電子發出的高頻噪聲折磨我的耳朵要好點。
