we proudly present gjöll's performance at the maschinenfest 2009. crystal clear and of stunning quality, the
recordings of their minimalistic arrangements are nowhere short of intensity. straight from the start, we sense the full
meaning of a temporary symbiosis: of dark and light, of cold and warm, of artist and audience.
organic drum sounds carry the heavy drones and are enriched with guitar chords, distorted or echoing over the
vocals with endless depth generated by delays. we float through beauty of northern simplicity. a beauty one can only
experience when there is nothing left to lose: after one has abandoned all hope. this release is more than a mere
blast from the past. it is a recreation of an appeal - to act, to realize, and to understand that there is no one but
ourselfes to change our lives.
rewind, relax, enjoy - from the first track 'inoculation' which has never been released before through the experience
of gjöll live on stage.
