Vacuuuuuuuuuuum















So what do you do with 2012 looming in the not so distant future? Some may run for their lives and others may run to the nearest gun store but the Austrian-born Christian Fennesz, mostly credited as just Fennesz, seems content to just stand there and provide the somber soundtrack for everyone. Vacuum, the third song off of Fennesz's latest release, Black Sea, is like most of his other songs in that it's fuzzy and ambient but this one is just so full of emotion... okay it's corny to fall for this stuff but what's great about the song is that while it is pretty bleak the warmth and fuzz of it all counter that as little blips and zips tinker around in the background like diamonds in the rough. If you like epic stuff definitely get this album, it's like one big epic soundtrack to a life that...wait, what am I even talking about?
