Colla (Double Album)
by Carlo Giustini
supported by 9 fans who also own “17 Directions”
have yet to translate the song titles so the artist's intentions are somewhat of a mystery to me, but the wavering surface noise creates the theme of a dialogue between music & technology before becoming invisible to my ears. this conjures memories of listening to music as a child (long before the sterility of digital media), when i rarely took notice of the hiss & pops of records, 8-tracks, tapes, & am radio because they were a normal, necessary aspect of recorded sound. nice to be back again.

When The Light Went Out
by Fallen
supported by 8 fans who also own “17 Directions”
2nd listen: the sound is in a constant state of tension, ready to explode. And when it does, it does... 1st listen: I love how calmness and intensity alternate seamlessly, reminding me of good old post rock. The sparse melodies are very cinematic, with a touch of Vangelis I would say.
