Comment: it is nice to be back again at the discography of the Chilean imprint Pueblo Nuevo. The artist comes out from the capital of a neighbouring country, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Jorge Grela (born in 1970) provides a set of 19 minutes where one can perceive emotions filled noises, wobbly soundscapes, catchy glitches, and bouncy sound effects. In a word, let's call it emotive ambient music. The result may not have been so appealing without exploiting recorded sounds from the streets and from nature. Thanks to it the soundscape seems to be fairly expansive and broad and made open. Here it is being sophisticated and exuberant. One is the effect of another. Stunning stuff.
