[Venice] [Fennesz] [2004] [CD] The austrian Christoph Fennesz is relatively unknown, yet he has already worked with such greats as David Sylvian, King Midas Sound, Ulver, Ryuichi Sakamoto or Jim O'Rourke. . The album "Venice", released in 2004, is still considered one of his best works, not only in the ears of many critics but also in mine. . Stylistically it is (as with almost all works of "Fennesz") not really to be defined. On "Venice" ambient elements stand on equal footing with "IDM", "Electronica" as well as experimental music. Wonderful vocals by David Sylvian paired with "glitch" elements, for example, result in one of the most fascinating tracks on the album. However, it would be unfair to compare one track with another because they are too different. But they all have one thing in common, they never let go and impress the listener again and again deeply! . . . . .
