Brunnen ??? Swoon {Beta-Lactam Ring}

Brunnen???s (a.k.a. Freek Kinkelarr) Swoon now sees a limited edition CD release (300 copies) on Beta-Lactum Ring for what was once an even rarer limited vinyl release on Seven On A Broom In The Sky back in 1993.?? Apparently, there were only 215 vinyl copies but Brunnen himself purports 263 copies were made.?? Nonetheless, this is brilliant nocturnal ambient soundscape electronic music recorded in the Netherlands.?? I sort of thought this was Edward Ka-spel on vocals and the subtle music compositions something like a cross between Legendary Pink Dots, Current 93 and Cluster.?? Turns out Edward Ka-spel does play keyboards on ???Scars On A Windowpane.????? Besides that glowing gem, Swoon manifests charming, serenely spooky songs, pleasantly sung in a low range harmony amongst the drifting ambient drizzle.?? Brunnen???s gorgeous yet tragically bereaved fluid melodies were created using an outdated Ensonic ESQ 1 synthesizer which thrills me like the first time I???d heard Gary Numan.?? Whatever drum machine or sequenced beat was used is delicate, stripped down to a primitive yet graceful throb or tap.?? Towards albums end, guitar strums emerge accenting the dream cloud enchantment.?? Quite beautiful.?? Swoon is very appropriate.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
