" Placer Found" (2000, Western Vinyl)
In its very manageable discography plays the first fruits of Early Day Miners possibly a minor role. We first drew attention to themselves, as their sound over the course of the publications slightly expanded - spherical, more dynamic, but was also compact. To date, however, it is "Placer Found", which brings me still most frequently Rührungsmomente small and fits wonderfully in this context anyway. With wide bristles are here extensively terms like repetition and minimalism applied over a long instrumental pieces may dilatory wonderful hanging in the air without the Songdienlichkeitskelle snaps high angular - "Placer Found" It's my "First Pick" melancholy drift away for a week. Because then basically done nothing special, it is a gently, unobtrusively moving forward, stringent album that allows itself no outbreaks. Recovery was yesterday, it follows the retreat and stagnation, and that always 'happen' something must is overrated anyway - well, then! Early Day Miners are primarily just a landscape painter: in their sound image slowly oscillating between ethereal sound and nüchterner world view, they create up images which belong to the hyper-realism that Springsteen's "Nebraska" maps already. Panoramic rugged areas of barren highlands, vast, unspoiled countryside and remote canyons. From run-down communities, capped by the economic umbilical cord, marked by rust and dust. In their music on the freedoms offered by the repetition, well aware, is characterized Early Day Miners 'only' Landscapes by - they dominate this profession but perfect.
