Coti's Metamemoria was firstly released on Vibrant Music in 2001 and since then being considered an important issue in Greece. Inner Ear Records released it on vinyl approximately two decades later to resurface electronic memories from the period when many important issues and projects did take place. Boards Of Canada, Squarepusher, Plaid, Plone, and of course two main stalwarts like Richard D. James based on his many pseudonyms, and Autechre from the Great Britain, and on the other side Teutonic IDM/neokrautrock/post-techno artists like To Rococo Rot, Mouse on Mars, Kreidler, Jan Jelinek, Pole, Oval, Microstoria had broadened borders of electronic music. Given that chronological and technological advantage most musicians from other districts were undoubtedly influenced by them. Metamemoria is a fascinating issue because of searching successfully for balance between coherent flow in harmonized and syncopated progression and refreshing sonic fabric and compelling effects. All these elements are properly represented doing away with undue exaggerations. However, the listener can find out a legacy of Kraftwerk coming from their Autobahn period. The favourite of mine is M Key, a superb track of cinematic semi-orchestrations imbued with heavy vinyl crackles and backed up by a slowed-down pace. In a word, solid performance.
