Comment: it is a subsequent issue by an Italian artist, Roberto Daglio to appear on the blog. Daglio's music is always different, always the same. It is always sultry and serene and deliberately retrodelic yet synthesising new elements into a mix. The listener can feel himself like standing somewhere under the cloudless sky while the Sun standing at the zenith and above all. Yet it is a hyper-realistic experience because you are not exhausted by sweating on humid conditions. However, Wintherpole and Steel Drops are exceptions of the 8-track composition due to a heavy, even slamming guitar handling in the beginning of the tracks. Yet in the middle you can hear more meandering and immersive trajectories up there being played on an electric guitar. A third exception is Sometimes In The Rain (Swing Up) based on a classical jazz standard yet it chimes in a refreshing way. In other tracks you can enjoy pastel drawings on the electric guitar and electronic keyboards while being supported by propulsive bass lines. In a word, the result rocks in the way a righteous fusion album should sound. Yeah, it's playful, it's joyous, it's ennobling. And paradoxically it is not bitter at all.

Nervu

Abstract
Glitchtronica
Minimal techno

Comment: this is a split release by a couple of projects both of them consisting of the pair of experienced musicians. Indeed, Sturqen's music seems to be more abstract and algorithm driven and VÄäristymä`s 5-notch is more loose and floating coming at times quite close to a sophisticated art pop/indie electronic number. In comparison to Sturqen's part it is not surprising at all because VÄäristymä's compositions are shorter while Sturqen's tenure is clearly conceptual because of consisting of two 15-minute long tracks (Metrologia part 1, and part 2). It explores the colours, reverberations and shades of electronic music within its concept. Yet it does not mean that this couple of tracks used to chime a bit devoid of events while being restrained within the conceptual borders. One can perceive the broad borders surrounding the music. For sure, one can hear influences of the two most praised underground electronic duos of the 90s, Autechre, and Pan Sonic. But not only – it is like an electronic release spawned by a composer having an academic background especially regarding those kind of cassette compilations released by German composers during the 80s and 90s. On the other hand, VÄäristymä's music also involves glitched-out and recycled noises at the fringe so it is a release of providing a joint part between artists additionally to idiosyncratic appearances. The joint release is a part of the discography of Nervu.
