New
release this time on Seed Records from Digitonal with ' The
centre cannot hold '.
'
Maris Stella ' mumbles into the picture with a smooth string
like callings and waterfall lush vocals from ambient vocalist
Kirsty Hawkshaw ( heard before with Opus III and Orbital
). A truly full three hundred and sixty audio display, as
bassy hissy grenades melt over classic violin strings and
glass like structures which self build from the materials
scattering the floor below. Attention grabbing stuff.
'
Snowflake Vectors ' really shows you what Digitonal are
all about, with stylish strings blended together with electronic
bubbles and endlessly folding paper shapes that take the
form of smiling faces. Really protective sounds almost botl
you into their clasp like grip as scattering beats skip
around the room taking smooth edges cuts out of the walls
to create a camouflaged message that you can just make out.
Really special stuff. ' Cantus V ' continues the generating
sound symphony that Digitonal have coarsing through your
bloodstream without you knowing. With a mixture of haunting
strings, rebooting machinery and audio expeditions that
keep you listening and opening up parts of your hidden mind
you didnt realise was in there. Round this all off with
a ribbety bassline melody that takes it to another level,
and basically its all good.
'
Amberkneiss ' expands and amplifies the geometric shape
that you travel in, and begins to form new mathematically
insane sections for you to marvel at through a series of
regurgitating beats which flop over each over in slow motion.
Squelchy messages are played out in a different world as
the melody takes on a soundtrack esque epicness to it, with
a huge feeling of something special ius being layed out
here. Just check it out.
'
The centre cannot hold ' is a stunning release from Digitonal,
even going near to surpass the masterpiece that was ' 23
things fall apart ' on Toytronic. It is a pure creation
of symphonic callings, tied together with electronic excellence
that forges its own musical path that only Digitonal can
control, you dont get to hear stuff this fresh and inspiring
very often at all, so dont miss out.
