Chasing Dreams - Everything's Lost, Everything's Fading

"Memory and Matter comprises selected remixes and rarities from the past seven years, nine of them previously unreleased and many of them only issued only on hard to find EPs or as Japanese release bonus tracks. Far from being merely a collection of every single oddity, these tracks were carefully selected into a consistent whole that maintains the same high standard of proper Manual albums. This two-disc compilation is also a labor of love.

Like it's predecessor, Lost Days, Open Skies and Streaming Tides, released in 2007, disc one demonstrates Jonas Munk aka Manual's expertise in creating elegantly layered, shoegazey pop, while disc two focuses on minimalist, slow-moving pieces created mostly from processed guitars. The latter adds an excellent postscript to Confluence - an album that has gained near-classic status in ambient/drone circles since it's release in 2008.

Munk's way of remixing other artists usually involves a complete reconstruction of the original piece, rearranging heavily and adding loads of fresh layers of sound to it, which is obvious when listening to his haunting and atmospheric reworkings of Blue Foundation's ballad ”Dressed in Black” or Mice Parade singer Caroline's ”Sleep”, or the Robin Guthrie produced Annie Barker track ”Cruel”. For Manual fans it's a treat to hear Munk's lush signature sound paired up with (often female) vocals. Disc 1 closes with the 17 minute Manual original ”Camellia”, the most new age-indebted piece in the Manual oeuvre, originally created for a digital-only compilation on Attack9. The track's placid sense of drift and delicately weaved harmonies makes it a standout in Munk's entire body of work.

Disc 2 is darker, more ambiguous in tone, with ”Three Parts” as the center piece – an enigmatic composition originally created for Ghostly International's ambient/drone compilation SMM: Context in 2011. Other notable selections includes ”Fields”, a meditative collaboration with Jason Kolb from Auburn Lull, and ”Memento”, a somber piece that exhibits Munk's flair for intensive guitar manipulation."

LYRICS
Lately I’ve been laying on the floor of the shower while it rains
Captured but fading, sense of an ending, a record of unraveling
I’ll be your stranger if it has to be that way
I’ll be your stranger even if you don’t feel the same
Slipping out of sight, out of our control, this part of letting go
Keep the light going, make it feel never-ending

LYRICS
Too many parallels, if I say nothing
Will it matter at all, will you feel what I don’t tell
In the silence of the moment I gave in
Is this what you hoped it would be
The last fires setting fire to the ones beneath
 
You think I feel too much, that I'm caught in a moving flame
And if I only learned to be still, I wouldn't sway in your shade
 
Your waiting wilderness interfused with
All your longing for, all our wanting hours
A broken barrier through which you carry her
Am I closing my eyes to dim the last of the light
 
You think I feel too much, that I'm caught in a moving flame
And if I only learned to be still, I wouldn't sway in your shade
