Comment:
Lương Huệ Trinh is a composer from Vietnam whose issue Illusions
consists of two long-running compositions. If to juxtapose both of
the tracks with each other it can be said they start in a similar
manner as if being induced by the tone generator. Indeed, it makes
sense in the starting part to slowly progress into more evocative and
exuberant. Machine sounds are threaded by more and less faint droning
of the chants and eerie industrial (ambient) noises full of interior
greyish power and volatile undulations. There are some differences as
well. At Illusions the main narrative is saturated with the
sound of a machine which used to loop and at the same time slamming
the soundscape around it. It is majestic and beatific simultaneously.
Return II involves a bagpipe-alike progression in the middle
of the track which eventually will be replaced with a catchy techno
rhythm. You can perceive fine tickling and swaying electronic sounds
before it. All of that reminds me a little bit of Rolf Dammers and
Holger Czukay`s album Canaxis 5 (1969). There is up a central
composition, Boat-Woman-Song by employing Vietnamese singing.
All in all, it can be admitted it is a great, highly idiosyncratic
issue opening up something ennobling and extraordinary (which cannot
be delineated by mind, though). It is an example of transcendental
music. The issue is a part of the discography of Pan Y Rosas Discos
(from Chicago, Illinois, USA).

Comment:
this set of 10 compositions may seem quite similar to something or
one can feel he/she has heard it before sometime. It might he/she has
listened to such project as Juanitos which is headed by the Frenchman
Juan Naveira. It is not coincidence at all – Limbo Deluxe is also
one of his projects. Similarly to Juanitos Limbo Deluxe's music is a
bold carnival of thousands of sounds. OK, I exaggerated a little bit
but it involves such elements as rockabilly, surf, indie, boogie,
world music, brass pop, psychedelic and acid pop. Certainly I forgot
something to add. Guitars, vocals, drums and dusty organs are set up
to introduce a groovy party. Especially those rolling acidic organ
cascades placed side by side to sonic threads of the other
instruments are truly catchy and enchanting reminding me of such
baggy juggernauts as The Charlatans, The Wordsmiths, The Mock
Turtles, and Inspiral Carpets. All is fairly coherent, all is
consistent, all is very convincing. The lyrics are in English and in
Spanish. Business as usual by him. One should abandon antidepressants
to replace them with the downright optimistic, serotonin-supplying
one. It is not funny, it makes up much more fun.
