Comment: Gaetano Fontanazza can be pigeonholed with such artists as Brother Saturn, I Am Esper, Glenn Brown, Saito Koji who used to create guitar-based ambient music which, I guess, may be quite obsessive by its method base yet truly relieving for a listener. You can hear extended chord licks which used to move across an artificial space (in fact, by creating and dilating it) and on the other side hover over the listener's mind. Additionally to the electric guitars he employs electronic keyboards and delay and reverb tools to sustain the vibrant ambiances (later the artist contacted me by saying all the sounds are created by using the guitars only). Due to those vibrant drones and faint wobbling which create a pleasant variety based on intermittent pressure and under pressure I would like to call it a dance album for the angels. Furthermore, is it an improvised music example or a designed music issue? Undoubtedly it is one of the best albums in 2018, and the 8-track composition is a part of the discography of Sucu Music.
