Comment: I guess it had happened approximately 6-7 years ago when I was listening to Xarope's sound quite frequently. Later on, the artist would be lost on my radar unfortunately. It is even more surprising because the artist's free range aesthetic and artsy approach is fairly appealing. For example, listen to this 13-notch of psychedelic music, melodica based improvisations, uncanny and rough chants which are studded with some concrete music slots and frantic drumming here and there to afford you an entry into a purgatorial DIY world. Recently the most of pop music is lead by totally controlled beats of digital kind and vocoder-drenched vocals so I do not have any idea is the result of this sort of music actually good or a little inferior on its own. At least it is obviously common and mostly derivative and unoriginal. So yeah, listen to Xarope's music as a counterpoint to it. It redeems you for sure. It is something being produced by a forest Jesus. By listening to the first composition Ethanol it is something truly stoned and jackass, it broadens one's perception and diminishes his/her burden of stress. It is absolutely free and freeing through his shouts and shrieking. He is accompanied by 11 musicians and a bunch of more and less conventional instruments (horns, flutes, didgeridoos, darbuka, djambe, low fi untuned crappy sounding viola, double bass, tuba). In a nutshell, take care of you through this issue (a part of the discography XS Records).

Comment: this is a weird issue of a sort of distorted music. Indeed, this kind involves previously created music and snippets of speeches to be destructed and warped due to fine glitches, scratchy radio waves, microscopic noises, something which could frequently be denoted as domestic noise. For instance, Holger Czukay by CAN was one of the pioneers by using radio waves as a music component. In comparison to the krautrock legend Cage Cabarrett`s work is sonically more incisive and shrill being remarkably more close to noise and (post-)industrial music. However, the title of this 4-track issue hints more closely at BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and in fact, having aesthetically very close similarities with this one. It used to undulate from silent, dormant forms to more elemental outbursts thereof providing some emotional impact. In a nutshell, it is a very intriguing one while preserving its consistency. The issue is a part of the discography of the Portuguese imprint XS Records.
