I really didn't know what to think about this release since you know Snowdonia is a quite eccentric label and I'm not exactly in all of their releases, but it's been a great surprise since I've been positively impressed by what Laboratorio Musicale "Suono C" have created for this recording. The music here featured sounds like a strange kind of soundtrack for a movie, Canterbury sound, some classical interventions and a bit of weirdness just to make it all a bit odd in the typical style of the label. Laboratorio Musicale "Suono C" is a small orchestra, consider beside some solo-computer episodes usually they play three or four instruments for every track: sax, bass, guitar, vocals, percussion, vibraphone, objects. While using a plethora of instruments they never superimpose one on top of each other, usually there're a couple of sounds well dosed together and after that a sequence of other movements coming in and out of the track. Somewhere else they move play and think like an old/new fashioned street-band. The global result sounds quite melodic and even if the weird seventies flavor is still there behind the door the music is really accessible. An interesting surprise. |
