O.Lamm ‎– Hello Spiral CD

Hello Spiral means, kind of, to look straight into the eye of a spiral, without blinking. Hello Spiral is o.lamm’s second official long play, after Snow Party, which was released in april 2002. Hello Spiral is located thousand light years from its predecessor, even if it doesn’t turn its back to it all the same. Hello Spiral is a very singing and sung record. Zoé and Kumi from The Konki Duet, Noak Katoi, The Very Ape, Davide Balula, Odot himself, as well as a twenty people choir gathered for the occasion (the Lucifer Amp Choir) sing very nice cryptic words, making the album very much alike something that really resembles pop music. Hello Spiral is one big whole cut in two halves. The first half is quite rhythmic and steep, the second is calmer, yet drilled with quite dangerous asperities. Hello Spiral is full of instruments and musicians, but also full of very abstract sounds, which go “scriiitch” and “sprooootch”, and which come from nature and aural reality as! well as from very obscure sound synthesis and sound processing softwares. Olivier like to call this his laptop psychedelia and actually finds it quite fun. Hello Spiral is indeed very proud of itself.
