Shame on me for the time it took me to review this release, but to justify myself I’ll add releases like this above if captured during a live performance takes more than one simple listening so after several listening here we go with some conclusions. First off it’s really hard to believe this’ a live take due to the high quality of the recordings... ok, most of the instruments are digital/digital processed and probably it’s been recorded with a laptop, but give it a try and tell me how many live recordings have you heard with a sound definition like this. Second thing, rather than a live in Mexico it could have been a Köln performance performed in some institution for electronic art, I know it far too well it’s a stupid cliché to associate warm music to sunny countries and cold music to Germany or north Europe, but you know this’ just another easy way to describe a release. This work is divided in four sessions, the first of which is a collective (Hans Tammen, Joker Nies, Mario de Vega) performance about thirty two minute long, not that much for a live but a really long track on a release where the average length is about ten minutes. By the way, while the first part of the track is quite inexpressive it slowly become interesting in the middle I don’t write that just cause it becomes barely melodic for a while but for the fact even later the tension between the three players become really equilibrated. As I’ve already said leave your hopes if you’re looking for melodic electronic music and ambient shit since this performance is full of animosity an it’s pierced with a whole lot of dynamic incursions. There’s music where nothing is happening, and there’s music like that of this trio where something is happening constantly. After the first track you have three solo performances for every single musician, believe me after having listened the solo performances you could also tell who’s playing what during the collective session. I’ve found quite interesting the fact that despite this things happen constantly I’ve had during the majority of the track, Hans Tammen is really laid back in the way he plays. Probably many of you don’t know ?em but it all reminded me so much of a band called St.ride diminished of their melodic factor. Mario de Vega right after the middle of his solo song puts in some cyclic melody with makes the soup more and more tasty if you consider this far from being easy listening electronic music. Joker Nies in many ways gave me the impression of having the more psychedelic style considered his really complementary to the other two mates and not exactly "ambient oriented", but maybe that’s just a personal impression. Cerebral post concrete, fractured, spastic, epileptic electronic music with an electro-acoustic approach even it all sound digital but I’m speaking about the dynamics.
