Comment: what is that? Is it a reaction to electroclash music having been so prevalent in the beginning of the 00s? On the other side, it could be admitted to be a subdued and strongly decelerated version of Ladytron. Samarah provides a remarkably more lo-fi, primitive and minimal counterpoint to it. It is just the truth in a half measure. The listener can hear progressions toward the aesthetic of dream pop. Or are the progressions instead of it something reflecting upon the more immersive and ghastly trajectories by Throbbing Gristle? The truth is obviously somewhere out there. The issue is a part of the discography of Nishi, No Type, and Panospria, a quite weird and important angle from Canada within the netlabel/webaudio world. Indeed, robots smile too but the question is whether the smile is human-friendly or not?

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.
