Harmony in Ultraviolet is the fourth studio album by Canadian electronic music musician Tim Hecker, released on October 16, 2006, on Kranky.[1] The album received positive reviews from critics, and was put in year-end lists.
Artwork
The album's front cover art is a photograph of a memorial in Bologna, Italy commemorating people from the area who were killed in the Italian resistance movement.[2] In an interview with Hecker, he said that the memorial was chosen for "the basis of its visceral qualities, but also how it fits with the music on a bunch of levels".[3]
Reception
The album was generally praised by critics, with Pitchfork writer Mark Richardson saying "Harmony in Ultraviolet is sensual body music of a very particular kind, and it's the sort of record that asks a lot. But if you trust it and go along, it knows exactly where to lay its hands."[4] The writer Marisa Brown for AllMusic described the album's tracks as "work[ing] together to form an idea that's greater than its individual elements: a sense of exploration and sadness and understanding of the infiniteness and uncertainty and expanse of the world."[5]
Harmony in Ultraviolet would be ranked in two Pitchfork lists: "The 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time" at ninth[6] and "Top 50 Albums of 2006" at fourteenth.[7] Writers for independent magazine Treblezine put the album in its "10 Essential Ambient Albums"[8] and its list of the twenty best Kranky albums.[9]
