Tape are three men from Sweden making mixes of acoustic, electronic and field elements. Luminarium is their third album, and is a very varied mix of the three mentioned elements here. There is a distinct electronic sound coming out of Scandinavia from the likes of Kim Hiorthoy that Tape has tapped into here. Followers of Smalltown Supersound or electroacoustic acts like Bibio definitely need to take note of what Tape are doing. The album actually covers quite a bit of ground. "Dripstone" is a lone piano jazz song with mutated effects drifting over the top of the keys. Immediately following "Altamira" is an acoustic guitar track with electronic mating calls backing the string plucks up. It's a constant change of instruments, but an overall sound that floats together, and is incredibly moving and beautiful.
