MP3: Nicolai Dunger - Soul rush
I keep meaning to tell you how good the new Nicolai Dunger album "Nicollide and the Carmic Retribution" is, but it keeps getting pushed aside. It's a difficult album to distill to a single track, not to mention that I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it (in a good way). So for now you'll just need to take my word for it and investigate on your own as today I'm posting the title track from what remains to be my favorite Nicolai Dunger album, "Soul rush". It's a perfect piece of music, so full of love and hope. The melody of the wordless refrains aches with wistfulness. Half his life wasted? Most definitely not. As far as I'm concerned, this is a timeless piece of work.
