New release from Zainetica on Boltfish.Zainetica's second release on Boltfish Recordings delivers a tranquil 5-track EP of delicious electronica following up from his Remembrance EP earlier this year.

"Freedom" is trying to speak to you in some warble style langauage but its hard to work out what is trying to be said, I reckon if we focus on its small slot like mouth we can work it out, ah crap no we cant. Luckily he stops trying to speak, and an angelic melody creates itself from the remnants of discarded sounds, unleashing a misshapen sound into the ether. Rumbling but not harsh and saturated with diffused samples, this is Zainetica on form once again.

"Feelings that cannot be expressed" takes you into the secret base of the heartbeat team. If you can imagine a tiny John Carpenter with a massive click rattle heart strapped to his back, this is what this is all about. Cityscape visuals coated with a red thin transparent layer of resistance, the two are then melded together with a powerful synthesizer lazer beam, creating a pure 70's thriller soundtrack. Love it.Whilst "We have no voice" is a choir of plastic child machines, ran by the tallest robot in the world, all singing along together, as they sing in unison in demonstration of the way they are treated in this future world. Smooth, rumbling, motorised goodness.

"Never at peace" continues the organic styled electronica, with ghostly callings and crisp refreshed drumbeats, that read out exactly the message they are meant to. Fresh to the max.

"Never at Peace" delivers a very amoebic, organic and natural sound, with elements of technology throughout. Maybe a bit to chilled for my personal taste, but nethertheless, straight to the head electronics, that dont fail to create interest.
