CADENZA 100EP
|
Cadenza's 100th release comes, aptly, from label boss Luciano. Reviving his Lucien-n-Luciano moniker for the occasion, he delivers "Grace of an Art," a Herculean piece of rubbery tech-funk, with intricate sound design over its steady and assured mechanical beat. On "Rickson Trephala," a flexible bassline wraps itself around a minimal, energetic beat, chock-full of abstract sounds and glitches. Bonus CD includes the grandiose 60-minute "Timeless Song for Lovers of the Morning Enlightenment," echoing the ideas of sound experimentalists such as Global Communication, but very much with Luciano's stamp, filled with sad pianos and wandering percussion and soaked in dubby reverb.

CADENZA 049EP
|
Swiss-Chilean hero Luciano returns with a major double-pack for Cadenza proper, featuring four more remarkable tracks that capture his many versatile talents, from driving house tools to psychedelic anthems to bright, melodic electronica. Making the release even more significant is the fact that this is Luciano's first release under his Lucien-N-Luciano alias since 2004. Put together, these two EPs add up to 79 minutes of music -- that's more than most albums!

KLANG 072EP
|
2002 release, repressed. "Now this is the first record of the Ricardo Villalobos friend after releases on the Genevan (his adopted city) label Mental Groove for Klang Elektronik. 'Una Cancion' -- an airy opening with Spanish singsong points the way -- at least of the a-side. Lucien keeps on moving pretty cool and loose in 'Lilou Swan'. Now we come to the true hit of the record: 'Future Senses' (feat. Francisca Leon). An echo-drenched work with Francisca's extremely erotic voice. You can find this typical sound made of chopped up mini-parts also in the last track 'Ritmos Estancados'. But you still have a full overall picture."
