Artist: L'EFFET C'EST MOI (@)
Title: Tomber En Heros
Format: CD
Label: War Office Propaganda (@)
Rated: *****
L'Effect C'est Moi is the musical project of an Italian guy coming from Recanati and called Emanuele Buresta. His project born after a philosophic concept of Nietzsche concerning the identification of the ruler class with the community’s successes. Musically TOMBER EN HEROS, which is his first album, is influenced by neo-classical as well, for a bit, by martial industrial music. The album is divided into two parts. "Pour Le Splendeur D’Empeire" includes the first five tracks and tries to cover the feelings of the times when the Roman Empire was at its best. "Rome Capitale", "Rome Capitale II", "Distance", "Retourner Au Pays" and "Saltarelle" are five instrumental tracks where orchestrations and percussions are the core of the sound. Here the atmosphere is trying to paint a glorious past succeeding in most of the cases into its intent. "Et L’Obscurité De Son Pouvoir" is the second part and it deals with the dark side of its might, that have survived through the ages and formed the totalitarian regimes of the 20th Century. "Ouverture: Mourir A’ La Guerre", "N’Aboutir A’ Rien", "Rituel De Sexe", "Tué Au Champ D’Honneur", "Soirée Dansante", "Saluer à La Romaine" leave the joyful atmospheres of the first part to embrace a sort of dark ambient orchestration where the despair is tangible. The tracks are like long orchestral suites with slow and reverbered percussions (sometimes they sound good as soundtracks of twenties movies). The twelfth track is a bonus track titled "Croulent les Bataillons Dans Le Feu" which musically seems being linked to the second part of the CD, sounding like a ending commentary. I enjoyed the spirit of the release but sometimes I found the sounds a little weak (some pianos and strings of the first part) and this ruined a little the listening.
