It is also a moment of reflection, a moment of evaluation and a small step into new possible futures. The main focus is now …

“Erotikon†reviewed by De:Bug
Jorge Mantas’ neues Album versammelt ein knappes Dutzend Ambient- und Drone-Tracks. Wohlklang pur, alles klingt fast wie unter Wasser und hat eher Installations- denn Trackcharakter. Vermeintlich Orchestrales mischt sich mit Klavierpassagen, Digitalem und den ersten Gesangsaufnahmen von 1860, einem Ausschnitt aus “Au Claire De Lune†oder (heimlich belauschten?) Telefongesprächen. Fließend, ätherisch, episch und romantisch ist …

Bakom The Beautiful Schizophonic döljer sig portugisen Jorge Mantas. Hans senaste album, Erotikon, utgörs av lÃ¥ngsamt böljande drone-stycken, enligt pressreleasen med ett mer eller mindre tydligt erotiskt/romantiskt tema skvalpande i bakgrunden. Musiken ligger som en tunn, varm morgondimma i rummet. Anslaget är sÃ¥ mjukt att jag snarast vill kalla det silkeslent. Faktum är att albumet …

“Erotikon†reviewed by Blow Up
Lui è portoghese, si chiama Jorge Mantas e ha una magnifica ossessione (che ben si desume sin dai titoli dei due album finora realizzati, “Musicamorosa” del 2007 e questo “Erotikon” di fresca stampa). Ovvero tutto quel che concerne la sfera sessual-sentimentale, preponderante se non unica ragion d’essere di una musica d’intrinseco temperamento erotico e passionale. …
“Erotikon†reviewed by Monsieur Delire
“Erotikon†is a Greek word for “love song.†Jorge Mantas (The Beautiful Schizophonic) holds a highly personal idea of the love song: instrumental, electronic, and ambiant. Oh, and sexy too (no silly sexual sighs, though), and inhabited by an ideation (and idealization?) of women. Sweet, nice music with shimmering textures, seductive ambient electronica. The album …

“Erotikon†reviewed by Vital Weekly
Jorge Mantas, the man behind The Beautiful Schizophonic, is a romantic man – at least that’s what I think, as I never met him. For the press release he wrote a long text, dealing with erotics – and thus he creates a dreamworld of his own. His music, through the years he’s been active, is …

“Erotikon†reviewed by OndaRock
Dopo che il precedente “Musicamorosa” ne aveva rivelato la raffinatezza delle texture ambientali, il portoghese Jorge Mantas, aka The Beautiful Schizophonic, torna con il suo secondo lavoro ufficiale sulla lunga (anzi, lunghissima) distanza, confezionando oltre un’ora di musica nella quale concede libero sfogo alle sue complesse elucubrazioni sonore, trovando questa volta ulteriore supporto nella partecipazione …
