La sonica “Fire†– un sample di chitarra compattato in scarica digi-punk – apre questo disco dell’austriaco (residente a Berlino) Peter Votava violentando i timpani dell’ascoltatore, ma già “After the bomb†smaterializza tale potenza fisica in tensione tutta mentale, con le percussioni del batterista dei Radian Martin Brandlmayr chiamate a solcare un fondale ambient come …

Jorge Mantas follows up his Cronica debut album Musicamorosa with this brand new selection of micro-drones and digitised textural ambience.
