Comment: by seeing the name Gallo 84 it brought to my mind German krautrock giant Neu!. The Teutonic duo similarly liked to employ numbers and one of their most well-known tracks was being known as Hallogallo. Additionally some Neu!'s endeavours in music are considered as first steps towards ambient music. This 4-notch issue being released on a Portuguese imprint, Colectivo Casa Amarela is also about very broad and frequently bright and serene soundscapes. Furthermore, its gravity point and orbital trace used to be quite similar in comparison with Neu!. However, it is predominantly devoid of rhythms by moving on and making sense by shifting plateaus with different tonality and pulsation frequencies and aligned with different distances. Above all, one is a great rock combo and the other is an outstanding ambient ray. I like the profound intensity and the dynamic interplay between those brighter and darker sonic layers and a new perceivable quality as the synthesis of the layers growing out from within there. It is like a spirited sonic whole by emitting holistic impulses from its very profound core. Superb work by any means.
