Mimir, as described by Christoph Heemann (ex-HNAS) is textural/atmospheric music made using mostly analog electronics and some accoustic instruments : guitar, flute, violin etc. The project started out of mutual interest toward making textural music and began as tape exchanges between CH and Ka-Spel/Knight that ended up by recording sessions together in Christoph's studio in Aachen. Ka-Spel said in an interview that Mimyriad (and the yet unreleased third Mimir album) is much closer to what they tried to achieve originally, while the first album is partly considered by them as a failure because CH (who mixed both albums) was too respectful of the individual contributions and didn't succeeded in making it a "whole". Personally though, I still like the first album very much. The music itself don't really compare to anything by LPD but this "textural" approach is often present one way or the other in their music. Many of the "Premonition" tracks, part of Four Days, "The Andromeda Suite," "Catch a match," many solo tracks by Ka-Spel such as "Fuse," "The Colour Xhine," "Colour me vexed, Desiree," Silverman's Dream Cell etc. - all of them are sounding quite differently but are somehow still close in their approach to what they've done with Mimir. - Dominic Audy
