nichts passt besser zu dieser aussage auf diese wundervoll zusammengestellte und verzaubernde musikselektion, die, wie auch jeder agnes obel-song, ruhe und frieden ausstrahlt. es ist die entschleunigte antithese zur rush hour, wie ein zugefrorener see an einem sonntagmorgen. agnes obel verbindet songs der enigmatischen jamaikanerin nora dean (eine duke reid produktion) mit dem kargen, bitterbšsen party girl von michelle gurevich, das den gleichnamigen franzšsischen film inspirierte. wehmŸtige stimmen von the bulgarian folklore choir, nina simone, ray davies und agnes selbst treffen auf mehr oder weniger elektronische tracks von yello, can und der griechischen kultkomponistin lena platonos. garniert wird die kollektion mit neuem agnes obel-material wie den dŠnischen song glemmer du, die vertonung von inger christensens poem for death, sowie den song bee dance. beide tontrŠger erscheinen wieder in topausstattung: cd als exklusives mixset, inkl. bonus-download-code mit allen ausgespielten tracks in wav/mp3-formaten, inkl. eines mehrseitigen booklets mit persšnlichen liner notes zu jedem track im pappschuber.
