Artist: Pablo Reche
Title: Radiation

Label: Fusion Audio Recordings (@)
Rated: * * * * *
This is another one of the reissues from Fusion Audio Recordings. This one was released pretty much right before Fusion Audio shut down and fell off the face of the Earth for a while (but thankfully they're back). As such, this is a fairly old composition, but it still holds up pretty well. Reche hails from Argentina and gives us six long-form drone tracks. I work for the county and often find myself driving around a lot. As I was listening to this album, it felt like Reche had laid down a nice base track that other random noises as I drove around could build on, creating a new composition out of air every time. This isn't noise, but it is noisy. The tracks have some grit to them with some distortion, crackling, line noise, tape hiss, and hum. Most of the time this works pretty well, giving a kind of hypnotic feel to it. Other times (Exposicion, for example) Reche seems to go on a little longer than he needs to. Overall, this is well worth revisiting if you haven't listened to it for a while and if you're new Reche's work it's worth picking up.
