The same could be said for the CD. The music is moody, almost melancholy at times, yet not depressing or sad in any way. The strings, guitars, violins and viola add another layer to the music, enriching it while not overdoing it.
The band got together in early 2006, and due to geography, it took them the best part of two years to finish this first album. Members of the group along with their technical and production sides come mainly from London, while one member lives in Tel Aviv, and Norway was involved as well. Let’s hope they can come up with another release soon. I’ve listened to Anonymous at least 30 or 40 times in the past couple weeks, and while I’m certainly not tired of it, another release would be most welcome. Listen to the CD first, then move on to the DVD. After that, alternate between the two. I’ve found them both eminently listenable.
The group’s website is pretty tech-y, hip and modern, but also very bare bones, although there’s considerable information available elsewhere on the web. CIAM could use a good agent to put all the available information together in one location. For instance, the website showed only a few 2008 appearances. But with a little searching, I discovered they’re going to be appearing in the US again this month. The Amazon listing also shows an anorexic amount of information, consisting only of the tracklist for the CD. That’s it. If the bandmembers are trying to remain Anonymous, you’re doing a great job!
