Mannen Faller by Brørby / Clausen
"A harsh and relentless ambient album, quite often crossing the line between dark ambient and noise. 'Mannen Faller' by Norwegian artists Anders Brørby and Rune Clausen is probably one of the most surprising and stunning releases I have heard in awhile. It contains sounds of nature, like the lovely sounds of birds, but also the harsh, intense reality of it, represented by haunting noises and overwhelming soundscapes. It's like Biosphere and Haus Arafna suddenly decided to do something together. Perhaps the term 'brutalist ambient' really fits here, but in any way, this is a highly recommended work." - Merchants of Air
"Anders Brørby and Rune Clausen have produced a set of tracks that are stunning, awe-inspiring, and contemplative. Mannen Faller is a mixture of the respect one must have for nature if one is to survive it alongside the awe that nature’s beauty inspires. While there are certainly moments of unease, Brørby and Clausen present the natural beauty of their country without the trappings of innocence but rather with a large helping of the realities that nature brings." - Somewherecold
