Mooncake - Lagrange Points

In five years time Mooncake released three EPs and one full length album, which were warmly welcomed both by listeners and critics all over the world.

Lagrange Points is Mooncake’s first full length album. The CD, released in 2008, made the band popular among connoisseurs of genre both home and abroad. TheSillentBallet.com – the largest resource on instrumental music – published a rapt review of Lagrange Points having graded it 8 points out of possible 10:

“The very first spin of Lagrange Points by Mooncake simultaneously bowled me over, knocked me for six, and toppled me head over heels. From the first tinkling guitar tones of “Nine Billion Names… (To A. Clarke)” to the wonderfully tight snare rolls which help bring “Short Stories Of Methuselah Tree” to a close, I was nothing if not enraptured. <…> With each new chord the glee of that first impression is doubled and redoubled, and even in the pieces of a more sombre inclination the music is intensely enjoyable in its sheer earnestness.

Catchy melodies, atmosphere, the ideal balance between rapture and grief: all this has always been Mooncake’s distinctive feature.
