Comment: The
Netherlands, Breda-based Ludo Maas aka Multi-Panel is back with his
third and final part of
Rekordgate. I think the first part and
the third part are the favourites of mine. Partly this is a profound
insight into electronic music, indeed, with few or without any
guitar-based embellishments in some tracks. All the electronic
threads in the embodiment of fatty synths, synthesised broad
landscapes and stomping bass synths are drawn out boldly. It could
almost be named as synth-pop but it is a bit something else due to
his DIY and nerdy attitude. Sparkling pop numbers cannot be
considered his first, second or third preferences. The
electronic/synthesiser-based predominance is obviously the most
striking difference in comparison to the rest two issues. On the
other side, guitar twangs, treated guitars and exquisite electronic
progressions in many interactions and combinations also make sense.
Thirdly, listen to
Stand and you get a proof that Ludo Maas
can create something truly elusive, and blissful. One may think of it
as if being written by Jens Lekman. All in all, the sequel of the
releases was success. May we wait for a next one?
