2002 release.
Ascend
, the title of
Manual
's second album, shows the way this music is going. At any time it is uplifting in a melancholic way, it directs into the inner self or into some far distant nowhere. All these emotional paradoxes stand in a tradition of many a great sound-sculptor starting with 4AD-acts such as
Cocteau Twins
, the swathing surrealism of
My Bloody Valentine
, the intense lethargy of
Talk Talk
up to the sheer beauty of
Slowdive
. With these traditions in mind, the music is carefully transferred into here and now while never losing a certain sunken quality. All those soothing, opalescent sounds may come from out of old analog synthesizers, but
Jonas
' indie-heart is still beating on the right side. One or the other subtle guitar part bears witness to that. Same goes for
Limp
, Jensen's other project in which he shares his vision with three friends to follow a similar path with different measures. Their debut album
Orion
is the perfect companion to Manual's body of work.
