''Philharmonics'' peaked at number one in Denmark and Belgium, and charted inside the top ten in France and the Netherlands. The album has sold 450,000 copies in Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.presswire.dk/default.asp?o=1&pid=69271 )〕 == Inspirations == Obel cited Erik Satie as an influence on many of the compositions: "I am a huge fan of his work on silences. I like also his uses of repetitive sequences, almost hypnotic. That gives extremely strong pieces, calms and powerful at the same time." According to the singer, "The texts come from the melody, its atmosphere, the piano (…) They also speak about the uncertainty of the future and undoubtedly of the feeling of loneliness, but without the anger which, for me, is not a musical engine". ''Philarmonics''s lyrics are simple, mysterious and allegoric. Philippe Cornet says, "The texts in question sound like metaphors of love, death, impetuosities of nature or sudden rustles of the city."〔 ''Philharmonics'' contains three titles that are purely instrumental: "Falling, Catching", "Louretta" and "Wallflower". "Just So" was used in a Deutsche Telekom commercial in Germany. Three songs from the album were on the soundtrack of the 2009 film ''Submarino''. "Riverside" was used in the episode "Not Responsible" of ''Grey's Anatomy'' and in episode 12 of the second season of ''Offspring''. It was again played in the episode "What Are You Doing Here, Ho-Bag?" from The CW hit series ''Ringer''. The ABC television show ''Revenge'' have used two songs from this album in their show. "Avenue" was played in the episode "Trust" and "Riverside" was played in the episode entitled Duplicity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Agnes Obel on Revenge )〕 The German Director Markus Thoess used a couple of songs for the documentary "Tod einer Scientologin" - (Death of a Scientologist) that was broadcast in 2012 on NDR and Feb 2013 in ARD, first German Channel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philharmonics (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
