"Asas Terrenas" is like a cosmic love letter to the intersection of earthy grooves and astral mysticism, but don't mistake it for some mere spiritual "chill-out" affair. It's much weirder, more daring than that.

Starting with "Asas Terrenas (Exordium)", Sarine channels the transcendent, where his modal improvisations hover between delicate and forceful, blending tablas, organs, and shakers with eerie precision. It’s like Charanjit Singh’s psychedelic disco had a mystical jam session with African synthesizer pioneers Hailu Mergia and Mammane Sani - but in some alternate universe where rhythm dominates all.

And then, "Amuse-Hanches (Gangorra)" brings it down to the earth’s core - a propulsive, sinuous rhythm that practically pulls you into a trance. There’s a raw, primal energy in Sarine's interplay of percussion and electronics, flirting with chaos while staying within the bounds of something ancient and sacred.

Yet "Mato (A Call Beyond)" is where Sarine shows his full spectrum - an arpeggiated free improvisation that’s equally disorienting and mesmerizing. The layers of sound fold in and out like a cosmic echo, giving it a timeless, ritualistic feel. It’s avant-garde, but never alienating - there's warmth in the strange.

For fans of Deafkids, you’ll feel echoes of that intense percussive energy here, but "Asas Terrenas" has an elegance that sets it apart. It's more meditative but not in a new-agey way - more like an ancient dance ritual in a futuristic jungle. Imagine Four Tet at his most organic, or Sun Araw taking you on a spiritual odyssey with live drums.

Sarine’s "Asas Terrenas" isn’t a record for passive listening - its textures demand attention. This is music that seeks to elevate, disrupt, and maybe even confuse. It’s not easy to pin down, and that’s what makes it brilliant. Like its name suggests, it’s both grounded and soaring - earth-bound and sky-reaching all at once.

Is this a masterpiece? Maybe. It’s definitely a journey, one worth taking if you have the patience for its odd beauty.
