Comment: in the last two weeks we have gotten sad news about Keith Flint, and Mark Hollis. The last of them was a legendary cult musician who did start with a synth-pop outfit but later progressed into an artsy outfit. The Rome, Italy-based Numbersix's 10-notch whole is something as if a crossover between the starting and finishing Talk Talk. At times the ghost of Ian Curtis appears to haunt us in a monotonous and laconic yet appealing way. Electronic elements are closely intertwined with ambient, even pristine space and sophisticated pop progressions which in turn are mixed up with concrete sounds and at times with the singing of indigenous people. At times the issue is getting into a lethargic dream based on buried improvisations and veiled lo-fi noodling. In a word, although it can be considered eclectic it is not a bad content at all. There is also up one track for reminding of Dark Side Of The Moon. Furthermore, it is inevitable and in the first place it is a decent crisscrossing. The release is an example within the discography of Camomille Records.
