“Erotikon” reviewed by A Trompa

Espiralando pela memória. Respirando com maior ou menor sofreguidão. Quase sempre vagarosamente. Pousado, como o pássaro que se sustenta no ar, com as asas estendidas. No ar, no espaço, pelo corpo vazio, despido de roupa e esquecido de emoções. Em “Erotikon”, Jorge Mantas convida-nos a entrar numa viagem misteriosa, feita de 11 faixas de um …

“Sleppet” reviewed by Bad Alchemy

Möven, Scheiß Möven, derart schrille nervensägen, dass die Gletcher knarzen und die Kühe unruhig an den Ketten zerren, dazu Wind, Scheiß Wind, Eis, das knisternd und prasselnd schmilzt, pieselndes Wasser und kollernd rumpelnde und klackernde Steine, Vogelgepiepse, Schafe, ausnahmsweise unhörbar, ein Wasserkraftwerk, eine Fähre. Mit einem vogelig idyllischen Minütchen als Schönheitspflästerchen. Natur und anderes, derb …

“Home, Sweet Home” reviewed by Bad Alchemy
