Comment: this
bunch of 6 tracks released by a Granda, Spain-based combo (Pablo
Medina (guitar and voice), Vicente Jiménez (bass and guitar), Carlos
Gimeno (drums) and Marta Corchs (synths) on Miga Label, and La
Gramola Netlabel is a smooth drift between the raucous, insinuating
spirit of Mark E Smith (especially at tracks like
A Vissen,
and
Unus through the singing
manner, voice timbre and more experimental, dissonant
compositional approach),
and a synth-punk and electroclash (indeed, the past being
externalised through such combos as Searchers, Tuxedomoon, Devo and
The Screamers which foresaw its future, and now both temporal
categories on their respective sonorous appearances are organically
crystallised at one and the same place). Paradoxically, it is great
that MES`s spirit and legacy continues living through a thousands of
ensembles though the Mancunian legend would certainly hate the cases
of similarity based on The Fall. On the other side, all the
aforementioned back then in the 70s went on uncompromisingly
experimental and artsy rather than poppy and hedonistic. All that
power and intriguing arrangements can be heard from within this
whole. Very pro.
