Comment:
Sensorama 19-81 is the project of the Chilean musician Rafael
Casanova whose 12-track issue is a mellifluous love affair of
indie/alternative rock with art and progressive rock chips. More
profoundly, it does conjure up lots of lofty developments and uncanny
sonic explorations from exuberant chamber music panning and elaborate
and almost frenetic spoken word snippets to more familiar rock
structures. However, as usual, being bound with one another those
weird aspects used fortunately to be predominant and to be
remembered. And if the familiar ones will appear then these moments
are multilayered and profound enough to provide captivating
sensations. Indeed, I have to praise the artist for producing such
vivid and flourishing soundscapes. Once the term progressive rock was
a depreciatory one especially being condemned by many punks. However,
this patchwork by attitude is more punk than most punk albums,
especially today when many punk ensembles are the kind of caricature
just having a bit in common with the genuine ideas of the subgenre.
All in all, it is fascinating.
