This new release by Fabio Orsi, according to the press notes, marks his return to Puglia after 8 years in Berlin and this is graphically symbolized by a colorful cover by Mastereaster while his most recent release were mostly tied to black and white pictures by Orsi. The chromatic change is matched by a musical form where the danceable aspect is particularly noticeable and, apart from the field recordings, all the sound elements are from synth and sequencer.
The A side, "Amai il Vento", is introduced by rhythmical, and vaguely minimalistic, piano line that hypnotizes the listener while sharp resonances evolves in the background; the small variation in every iteration creates a sense of movement, in the second part of the track, that introduces a lead line in the foreground which slowly is integrated in the rhythmic framework closing the track. The B side, "Sopra la Terra", starts as a classic ambient track in a suspended way while the main synth loop slowly fade in and introduces a beat with a vaguely oriental feel; at the end of the introduction begins a part of juxtaposition of elements until an hypnotic loop is established under a changing beat.
The linearity of the tracks reveals the influence of certain kosmische musik as he cites certain synth sound and the structure has those sense of progression under the apparent repetitiveness of the sonic cells that reveals a writing behind it, not a mere repetition of a phrase relying on timbre. It could be appreciate by a wide range of listeners. Recommended.
