Comment:
it is great honour to arrive at the album list of Test Tube. Indeed, there
is no reason to feel yourself disappointed at all by listening to Barcelona,
Catalonia residing Marius Miron aka Faerùn`s bunch of handful of pieces. The
issue starts off with Dusk, the poem
of Robin Rimbaud where a presumably experimental sound package is masterfully
subordinated to an independent music algorithm. The track chimes like a less
pop appeal drenched version of the Cranberries now and then in the second part.
The same could be said about the finishing track Ndasi where slightly undulating synth-induced drones are
accompanied by a dynamic rhythm and mind affecting vocal samples. Emotionally
the most crushing and orgasmic piece is Hanako
which involves the raping sounds, sighs of a man and weeping of a woman hinting
at the crimes of Japanese soldiers during the WW II. Room 3327 is a haunting hybrid of space rock and minimally pulsating
electronica adorned with radio waves and spoken word snippets dedicated to
Nikola Tesla, the true genius within the physics field. If you are searching for
some analogue examples within the experimental pop scene then the oeuvre of Broadcast
might resemble of that span of 28 minutes. In a word, it is obviously one of
the best (leftfield) pop albums issued in 2014.
