this album has a strange but compact atmosphere, a little bit dark ambient just like when you look out the window of a suburbian bus, avoids to be monotonous or unchanging. a very good debut!

Moody and beautiful, Faultline's debut CLOSER COLDER mixes elegance with stunning strength, as immediately evident by "Awake," which alternates waves of feedback noise with careful cello lines or the reversed vocal bits and disembodied laughs on "Tiny Consumer." The mournful trumpet of "Mute" seems to pierce the air, sharp and poignant. A delicate melancholy seeped into all of the tracks on this album, and even if a quiet moment like "Papercut" is interrupted by wild blasts of rhythm, the sadness always reasserts itself. The classical elegance of the title track seems only more stately when paired with a reverberating beat. "Partyline Honey," one highlight among many, manages to be both creepy and sleazy, like someone you never want to pick up in a bar. Chilly and stunning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique album and a really nice listen, December 1, 2009

I bought this album on vinyl while traveling in London during the Winter of 1999. Been looking for a digital copy for the last few years. Really nice record and a great debut. The follow-up album wasn't as good IMO. I'm not sure why the small labels aren't digitizing their back catalog, although it has to be cost related. Seems a shame that the diversity of these small, but great titles would be lost to future listeners.
