Max Richter – Infra
New material from Max Richter is always greeted with open arms here and “Infra” may prove to be his best work yet. The album began as the score to a ballet, written back in November 2008, now extended and given life as a full album project.
From the opening tracks radio fuzz (which plays a part throughout), through to the use of strings and atmosphere that hark back to the greatness of his “Blue Notebooks” album, this is an absolutely joy to listen to. Richter creates a space and dynamic that almost becomes instantly recognisable but that stands apart from his other work. A few piano pieces drift in and out throughout and from start to finish this is an absolutely beautiful album.
I’ve picked out a couple of tracks below to give you an idea but I’d highly recommend heading over to Boomkat and picking up a copy of the whole shebang asap.
