2003 European CD release.
"Seven Days of Falling" is the most mature recording of e.s.t. to date. It is a development that can be traced back to "Dodge the Dodo" from "From Gagarin´s Point of View", continued with "Spam-Boo-Limbo" and the hidden track on "Good Morning Susie Soho" (on which e.s.t. experimented with the most amount of electronics and unusual sounds than ever before) to "Behind the Yashmak" on 2001’s "Strange Place for Snow" album.
"Seven Days of Falling" features wonderful ballads "Ballad for the Unborn" and "Why She didn´t Come" and guides us through great musical landscapes, but it is songs like "O.D.R.I.P." and "Elevation of Love" that set the pace. The e.s.t. magic that has captured so many admirers is still very much present in their compelling themes, Esbjörn Svensson’s seductive piano melodies, bassist Dan Berglund’s use of bow and sound effects (with Hendrix-like results) and drummer Magnus Öström’s accelerating drum’n’bass beats.
Asked what creates the magic of e.s.t. recordings and concerts most people say that it is "in between what is being played". Esbjörn, Dan, and Magnus leave room for the music to breathe into the minds and souls of the audience.
