Product Description

CD Description

Skyline is Yann Tiersen’s seventh studio album, and sees Tiersen taking a confident step forward, cementing the sound of its darker sister, the critically acclaimed Dust Lane, which was released almost exactly 12 months previously. Skyline was recorded between Paris, San Francisco & and Ouessant a tiny island off the coast of West Britanny and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, M83, David Bowie, Psychic TV). As always the music stems from Tiersen, whose long periods of recording alone are broken with spells with input from a cast of musicians. An array of vintage synths add billowing, analogue textures, electric guitars and bass bring layers of fuzz and distortion. Songs slip from their moorings, take off on new and unexpected currents.

A grower 17 Oct 2011
By Big Jim TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This album heralds a further move away from the soundtracks for which Tiersen is arguably best known in the UK, especially that of Amelie. There are still many of the little melodic twitches that are recognisably Ameliesque but it appears that YT is determined to get just about evcery sound avilable to him on this album so we have thrashing guitars a plenty, clashing cymbals, esoteric synth noises and to be fair more than a soupcon a gentle melodic interludes. With a more Germanic feel than his usual "French" sound this album harks back to the likes of Can and Neu but it also has echoes of more modern synth based material such as M83 which is not suprise as the latter shares the same producer.

This album will maybe shock someone expecting something nicey nicey and make no mistake this is a challenging oferring at times but it definitely rewards repeated listening and I urge you to give it a try.

Disapointing 22 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I adore the summer breeze of "Les Retrouvailles" and the beautiful autumnal tones of Dust Lane - but Skyline just isn't that engaging. Disapointing.

Powerful yet sweet 3 Nov 2011
By MrSkull
Format:Audio CD
Yann Tiersen's music has always been much more than meets the eye (ear). Immersive and cohesive, Skyline is a very logical growth and continuation from Dust Lane, a progression into what some might describe as a new musical style for the artist. Definitely a must for anyone that likes good music - his sounds transcend any genre and that's very rare.
