A chapter apart in the history of ambient-trance music to be signed by Kirlian Camera's Angelo Bergamini: intellectual and proudly anti-intellectual at once, able to evoke strange and sometimes nervous alien urban worlds. Intimately powerful and innovative, this long awaited UU72 "opera prima" is a successful combination of new electronic horizons and retro vintage machines reaching a personal language, not paying any debt to any "experimentalists" in particular. Once again, Bergamini surprises us with a brand new idea, going to give life to a restless and rainy scenery made of extreme solitude, alienated rhythms and touching moments, all permeated by an unusual and fair sense of black humour. If one would like to listen to real "songs-of-the-machines" with no useless old-school attitude, this is the best direction to drive to!!!
Beautiful and stylishly sumptuous artwork by Elena Alice Fossi (co-leader/singer/composer of Kirlian Camera) here appearing as a extraordinary graphic artists, someway echoing Euro-Spanish modern design turned into colder lines, not spurning a brilliant touch of fresh and hi-class "industrial glamour". Surely the best design work ever from this versatile young talent! In short, an album that might modify old "atmospheric music" concepts, surely far from both dark-ambient in general and "ˆ-la-Eno" orientations! An album rich of intuitions and generously free of pc/mac prepacked solutions, still keeping a link with that magic called "music"!!!
First edition comes out in a beautiful mirror-like plexyglass box-set (showing project's coloured logo on the top) containing the Digipak-CD, exclusive t-shirt, badge, 3 postcards, sticker. Standard edition comes available as a deluxe Digipak-CD including booklet. More than a must!
