A Colour For Autumn is the second chapter of a series that began with For Varying Degrees Of Winter (on Baskaru), where English attempts to transfer the seasonal gradations related to the biotic and climatic aspects of certain zones to his soundscapes.
Overall, the record creates a warm, woozy and agreeably unreal feeling of waking up on a lightflooded meadow without any sense of time and space.
Secondo episodi della series dedicata da Lawrence English all’attraversamento delle stagion.
A Colour For Autumn est un fantastique album d’ambient, mariant étroitement électronique et instruments acoustiques, qui accompagne a merveille le simple passage du temps.

there may be ambient releases this year that have more flash, but few will be able to consistently realize their aims as well as this one has.
So bläst der südfranzösische Mistral in “Droplet” oder sorgen “Galaxies of Dust” für melancholische Stimmungen.
Autumn, performed by this musician, sounds as if you were observing it in a small European town, through dusty window glass covered with steam.
Here and elsewhere, English builds up luxuriant masses within which multiple sounds congeal into lulling wholes.
Out of many refined moments, this is even more refined.
Christian Fennesz steuerte zu “The Surface of Everything” etwas electronics bei aber sonst dienen alle field recordings und Prozessorsounds der sanften Schönheit bunter Blätter: “Stillness in Motion”
A soft, sometimes breathtaking’ swansong, just before winter comes.
