MICHAELA MELIÁN - LOS ANGELES

Two years on from her acclaimed debut album, Baden-Baden, Michaela Melián now
returns with a wonderful new long player, Los Angeles. When Michaela Melián is not
working on her multi-media art, participating in exhibitions or playing bass in,
probably the best German band ever, FSK, she is also busy composing and
producing her own solo recordings.
The mood on Los Angeles is noticably more subdued to that of Baden-Baden - its
slow building beats made it a crossover hit and even won over many fans in the DJ
community. L.A. on the other hand, is almost completely devoid of said beats,
there is a mere sprinkling of electronics, and yet it has no less of an impact. The
focus may be on drones and slowly shifting ambient soundscapes, but this is
powerful music that will touch you deep within.
