Comment: it
was approximately one moth ago when I commented on The Chopittos Arkestra`s
album Zavanardi Rising. Vento Quente is another album by
Brazilian experimentalist Lucas Pastina whose 6-track issue is ploughed with
guitar riffs, heavy moaning and heavy, sustainable reverberations within
somewhere of ambient soup. On the other side, it is not pure sort of spaced-out
rock/ambient because one could perceive Dadaist approach in Pastina`s concept.
At times the music is accentuated with concrete sounds and powerful slams. More
profoundly, it sounds like an example of noticeably skewed blues and hard rock
tinged music to have appeared in the 10s. Because of that the Brazilian`s album
can be compared with the likes of Frank Zappa, Johnny Crewdson (the constant member behind such crazy combo as The Hirundu) and Captain Beefheart additionally to Tore
Elgaroy, fydhws, Glenn Brown, Dolores and other contemporary guitar fuelled ambient
musicians. By the way, LFC does mean Lucas Fucking Crazy. Indeed, he deserves
his name utterly. It is a stunning issue.
