According to capitalist legends, there are financial wizards who can make billions of dollars from 4 cents, but many of them routinally become victims of their own myth when some bubble explode, so that I don't trust this kind of stories, but luckily there are sonic wizards on this planet who are able to make wonderful things from four sounds as the ten minutes lasting track, which gives the name to this sonic tidbit, got mainly propelled by four sounds: a bumping bass, an ethereal pad, a metallic hit and a sort of electronic cowbell which gets up and down a simple tonal scale. You have to wait almost five minutes before an androgynous voice and a sort of fingerprint got added to the reticular texture till the final dissolvence that these wizards of sound made for your listening pleasure. I honestly ignore the argument that Mark Fell used to persuade Erik Wiegand, who kept his Errorsmith alias in the closet for eleven years, to get out of his hermitage, but you'll find out what really matters on the three tracks of this EP that they made in June 2014 at Wiegand's studio in Berlin. The same voice (Wiegand's one?) appears on the amazing boiling soup of membranes and electronic clips of "Cuica Digitales" by means of sometimes pitched robotic howls, while "Atomic 80", the second track on B side, seems to render unpublished experiment on sonic superconductivity. A get-well welcome for such wizards!
