Tomas Raae – Montségur (Spotify)
“Live, wind instruments always affect a person in a special way. The atmospheric Montségur track intoxicating melody sounds DUDUK like smoldering candle flame in the night. Tomas Raae plunges into suspended animation, music that will hypnotize you.”
“Живые, духовые инструменты всегда воздействуют на человека особым способом. В атмосферном треке Montségur звучит опьяняющая мелодия дудука, словно тлеющее пламя свечи в ночи. Tomas Raae погружает в анабиоз и мы не гарантируем, что у вас получится очнуться.”
