Comment: this album consists of a couple of compositions by the prolific Modena-based, Italian artist Marco Lucchi. Yeah, (re)discover his albums through Bandcamp, and Archive.org! One of those tracks on Kosmische reaches a 65 minute, the other one does a 5 minute. In general, the outing is subjugated to minimal progressions and microscopic touches yet all the drones represented over there seem to be craftily spiritualised and purified from any possible excessive burden. Indeed, all is poignantly focused and magnified into new qualities. More profoundly, one can hear slightly vibrant cathedral-alike colours within the drones at times being embellished with faint reverberant voices as if the metaphor of fading memories. It is imbued with feelings being somehow ennobling and sad at the same time. It is like a rootless floating in Outer Space a billions of miles away from pillaged Earth because the human being was not able to change its economic course and first of all its devastating life style as the very reason of it. The music is dedicated to Florian Fricke (1944-2001), a Krautrock/Kosmische Musik juggernaut being the leader of Popol Vuh. The highly recommended outing is a part of the discography of Batenim.
