We asked Ambassade to tell us a bit about the album –\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBorn from several years of research and contemplation on the human mind ‘The Fool’ can be understood as a reflection to the dark energies – natural, political, human and otherwise – that are released when it comes to religion, greed and power.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistorically, some rulers have used religion to legitimize their power. We were also inspired by wanting to examine what negative impact religion can have from the fact that it’s always dominated by men.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis was pursued by exploring a wide range of diverse and unusual types of instruments that took on a new approach of tonal expression, with the use of detuned choral and voice samples, droned tape loops and DIY metal and found percussion. It’s from these diverse sources that the process of creativity keeps persistently mutating. This process was focused through the enigmatic electronic and percussion composition from the band which alternates between foreground and background for the haunting vocal performances.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 De Ambassade Verderfelijke 00:05:02\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 De Ambassade De Elitetheorie 00:03:06\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 De Ambassade Brand in De Straten 00:04:01\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 De Ambassade Bag of Gold (Words by John Cage) 00:03:02\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 De Ambassade Oh Light, Oh Flame 00:03:05\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA6 De Ambassade Commando 00:02:55\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA7 De Ambassade Later Met Je Beste Zelf feat.
