hand-written review of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan – Districts, Roads, Open Spaces

 

Salvatore Mercatante – Decas

If you like your electronic music big, dark and elegant then this is going to take you away. Think icy but elegaic synths, crisp drums and warmest, deepest bass.

It made me think a little bit of peak Biosphere. That high fidelity sound, the sharp minimalism and intense atmosphere. The rhythm providing more for the composition than the dance floor

There’s something immensely immersive about the sound. I called the music ‘icy’ but at the same time it has a really ‘warm’ analog sound.

If you’re looking for some electronic music with a soul and with a ton of atmosphere then this is it.

Oracle Column – Lily

review of the most cosmic thing I’ve heard in ages

Is it a clichĂ© to call something “deep”? As I sit here with my headphones on listening to distant percussion sounds, weird synth noise bubbling in one side of my head and divine chimes of sound at the other side, meeting in the middle of my brain, well….it feels like a deep experience.

It starts off like meditation music with “Boaz” which is side A. That spiritual feeling soon gives way to strong vintage science fiction. It’s BBC Radiophonic Workshop scoring with Jodorowsky. By the end of it, it makes me feel like I’m free-falling through inner-space.

Side two “Joachim” kicks off as a hypnotic drone jam, really sounding like the two artists are facing off over their gear. It evolves into something sunny, melodic and vaguely dubby.

This is easily one of the most cosmic things I’ve reviewed in ages. Make sure to bring your own oxygen supply.
