Lupe Fiasco - The Cool

Morgunbjarminn frosinn tekur lífunmáldir Valdamiklir höfðingjar, líkamar kaldir Dauðadjásnin brotin, næturdöggin glitrar Máttur heimsins þrotinn, öll heimsbyggðin titrar Englar alheims fljóta yfir bláu höfin Tímalaust er ástand, grafin verður gröfin Bálið brennur ákaft, hylur jörðu alla Svartar nætur, djúpir hellar, dropar falla Mergur beinsins horfinn, andinn heldur kjarna Framtíð ávalt ósögð, fór til fornra stjarna Jarðir, grafir, dýpstu höfin lífin taka Dimmuborgir hugans munu ætíð vaka Frozen morning light steals away life's breath Mighty monarchs, bodies cold A deathful gaze broken, the night's dew glitters Its might exhausted, the world trembles Universe's angels over blue oceans soar A timeless state, the grave to be dug The mighty fire roars, blanketing the earth Black nights, deep hollows, drops fall Marrow of the bone gone, its spirit a ghost holds Future always unspoken, departed to the old stars Worlds, graves, the deepest oceans that lives take Dark cities of the mind are always vigil

‘Over the Ice’ by Stockholm-based The Field. He released this amazing album on influential German electronic label Kompakt a few years ago. I’ve listened to it a hell of a lot since then, and I thought I’d throw something on here about it. The album is called ‘From Here We Go Sublime’. It’s amazing. It’s minimal, ambient techno/trance with traces of shoegaze and pop - just put it on and chill!
