Pantha du Prince & the Bell Laboratory – Elements of Light: exclusive album stream
It's only January, but please allow us to stick our necks on the line and say this: Elements of Light will be the best album you'll hear all year featuring a three-tonne, 50-bell carillon. It may even be one of the loveliest records you'll hear over the next 12 months. Berlin-based electronic musician Pantha du Prince has long been known for pushing barriers and Elements of Light is no exception. This collaboration with Norway's The Bell Laboratory has resulted in a composition that mixes ringing bells with the gentle throb of minimal house and techno. The whole thing ebbs and flows, revealing new dimensions as it does so. According to the folk at Rough Trade, it's wonderful hangover music too – although we wouldn't know anything about that. Anyway, have a listen using the widget above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
