Ulf Söderberg -Tidvatten Part 2

Full title of this track: Tidvatten, Pt. 2, Landmarken Och Vaktare,I Mittens Rike,...Och Varlden, from the album Tidvatten which is released in 1998.

Ulf Söderberg is the creative talent behind Sephiroth.

He relates stories about the inexorable and destructive power of time, mankinds futile attempts of resistance, and the sunken cities, fallen towers, and overgrown ruins that this has resulted in. Dark eerie soundscapes and ritualistic drums are combined with his own field recordings from places like Cairo, Iceland, and gloomy Nordic forests.

Ulfs music whispers about the Gods we are desperately trying to appease, only to find ourselves dying before the monuments we spent our lives building. Ulf bids you welcome into the ruins and down to the deep forgotten catacombs.


Either sit back and enjoy, or go out and get the album (or buy with Itunes).

Reviewer bolle88 from discogs.com:

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the etno-ambient world. With "Tidvatten" Ulf Söderberg takes you on a hypnotic and highly spiritual journey to the deep forests of northern Sweden. The music is not very abstract and captures the listener from start to finish. The melodies are always well thought out, and always extremely beautiful in an mystic and ethereal way. If someone who haven't heard quality ambient before wants to hear some quality ambient, the I would probably let him/her listen to "Tidvatten", thanks to its direct, melodic style and the thanks to the length of the tracks and the album. "Tidvatten" is the perfect soundtrack for a night out in the nature.
