Comment: Portugal-based Vitor Bruno Pereia aka Aires & Rui. P. Andrade`s Pânico-Ambiente was one of the top
notches in the previous year where picturesque sonic landscapes were seamlessly
interwoven with subtle white noise elements which ultimately appeared to be an
idiosyncratic top notch. In fact, Aires continues to explore the direction within
this 3-piece issue, however, by adding some new growing elements and tones to
the blend. For instance, he exploits some robot-soaked sounds at Fantasma I, and manipulates with ominous
vibes at Fantasma III thereby
entering into the area of dark ambient (although the first two-three minutes
are put down to a subtle electro-acoustic manipulation). All these elements
used to spring up gradually as if a minimal music record with a specifically
winding thread and point. Although the issue is pre-dominantly guitar driven
the guitars are not a purpose on its own but just being an instrument which are
subjugated to be sublimely manipulated and warped. The issue is a part of the
discography of Bad Panda Records. In a nutshell, the result is a solid
follow-up to Pânico-Ambiente.
