May 21, 2010: This is a Google Translate interpretation of Kulturterrorismus‘ review of Dawning Luminosity:

Into three “acts” VioSac celebrates “Dawning Luminosity” a world full of sadness and determination that is reminiscent only in terms of sound (analog instrumentation) to previous works and otherwise a return or further disclosed to deep drones, which certainly new listeners layers opens up, if this performance is no “flash in the pan is.

Actually, there should be no problem to find a suitable label for VioSac, but somehow seems the Canadians on high-quality products (made in press) abzufahren & self-distribution, probably to keep all the reins in his hands (to be).

Content immerses the artist in a mysterious matter that is derived from the images, between the Middle Ages and a modern winter moves and the horned lark is dedicated, which somehow does not fit in the majors overall context “Understand, and be free!”, But in the end the mass of lunatics VioSac shows what this project became known. If you are looking madness comes to actually VioSac not over – point!

In contrast to the previously very experimental ideas VioSac delivers on “Dawning Luminosity from” a simple, almost monotonous soundscapes, which can be described best with minimalist drones that have a lot of atmosphere but also monotony and quickly burn in my memory “. Persons who wish Draught & hypnosis also should approve these three overly long tracks on “Dawning Luminosity” and dive in head relaxing cinema. Especially like the very clear structures like the individual songs that never make the music themselves, but their effect in the foreground, so the Konsumentenschaft here expecting a phenomenal listening experience, which gives freedom of thought, when one enters it.

All the individuals, which was previously too VioSac rather queer and turned to with “Dawning Luminosity” risk a new attempt, the result of the lighter (sound should) succeed fare! VioSac real fans should, however, a little missing from the experimental spirit of bygone days, hopefully on future albums is growing again!

Conclusion:

VioSac revealed with “Dawning Luminosity” an almost catchy release, the ambient & drone fetishists necessarily have to call their own, however VioSac followers of earlier days could be a little disappointed. Although the absolute change my recommendation, based on the high (almost overwhelming) expression of the plays, which invite to a beautiful mind movie that, under the motto “Understand, and be free!” Runs out!

May 19, 2010: Dawning LuminosityA nice little review of Dawning Luminosity was published today in the Vital Weekly newsletter. Quoted here:

VIOLENCE AND THE SACRED PERFORMING AS VIOSAC – DAWING LUMINOSITY (CD by VioSac)
Back in Vital Weekly 656 we were re-introduced to Violence And The Sacred performing as Viosac, the new name of what was once known as just Violence And The Sacred. Still I have no idea why they hold on to the addition ‘Performing As Viosac’, and not just simply return to the old name. ‘Rusty Pile’ wasn’t a convincing come-back album I thought. Perhaps a bit too much of an unedited jam-session. The CD after that ‘You Are PLanning To Enjoy The Apocalypse’ wasn’t received here. The new work ‘Dawing Luminosity’ is however a great work. Viosac move into a more ambient territory here, which not necessarily adds much to the world of ambient and drones, but the quality is great. Its one piece in three parts and I’m told its all analogue synthesizers and analogue processing. Very slow moves around here, this an almost perfect piece of surround sound, ambient in the very most true sense of the word. An excellent disc of some heavenly music. As said, it doesn’t add much, if anything at all, to what we already know about this kind of music, but its very rare that it unfolds into such a beauty. (FdW)

The original context will be here in a day or two. It is also here, near the middle of the page.
