17 Pygmies changed their style a bit. Their hand crafted artwork vision remains. This is packed and hand assembled carefully. Included is part 3 of a novel of which I assume hangs together with the music. The story is inspired by the 15th century Latin novel La Celestina, but became in fact a science fiction related story with the previous dark love story, a fantasy which does not reveal itself too well in the musical setting but which sounds more like a cloudy and darker late 80s styled electro-pop item with slow and moody progressions making use of Christmas-alike glockenspiel, drums, guitar and layers of keyboards including electronics. Just one small waltz (track 8) gives more attention to the acoustic guitars and violin. There’s a female singer mostly which got keyboard-alike vocal overdub harmonies. There’s an alt/indie-pendant atmosphere which listens nicely but keeps it all very vague.
