“Musicamorosa” reviewed by Smallfish

A contender for one of the finest releases on Cronica in my opinion. This CD is a beautiful, relaxed and very, very deep piece of work. The track titles are all taken from the work of Marcel Proust and could, conceivably, come across as a little highbrow, yet the music speaks for itself here at all times. Luscious, sculpted layers of beautiful sound create a drifting ambience that’s somehow reminiscent of the work of William Basinski in the way it works. But this has a slightly more asbtract edge with a less linear arrangement style that ebbs and flows with a great deal of beauty. Add to that one piece of spoken word performed by noneother than Colleen and a wonderful live track at the end with a slightly more rhythmic feel and some excellent glitch tones and you’ve a complete, well-rounded and exceptionally lovely piece of work. Bravo.
