Comment: Martinas Rakshtinas, the pride of the Lithuanian underground music is being known under a swarm of pseudonyms which in turn does mean he has been a prolific artist for the last 2-3 years. Lately I had reviewed one of the issues by him under the nom de plume Mirth Naarc and the outing was named FX (2016, Free Music Archive). The 3-notch issue entitled ominously Swing With A Black Dog and thereby tipping off about the parlous allusions with the Lucifer is a turn of 360 degrees in comparison to FX. The last mentioned release was techno, electro and experimental hip-hop blended one though which ultimately turned into quite oppressive by its mood and outfit. The album in consideration is musically slowed-down, smoky and noir tinged behind that sonic curtain the Devil is playing with human beings and their souls as marionettes. Bold minor chords on a piano are backed up with volatile trumpet played tooting and kit drum shuffles and superficial electronic effects atop and behind it. The predominant silence induced layers add seductive touch to get craftily immersed in the rest set of layers. Another impression is as lofty as well due to Miles Davis is playing woeful cool jazz numbers in front of the Fallen Angel himself. The outing is a part of the discography of a stalwart Portuguese imprint, Enough Records (or simply enoughrecords). In a nutshell, the whole impression is emotionally striking and at the same time showing us something coming out from the pit. Put a spell on you.

Comment: without any doubt the previous year was being very fertile to Lorenzo Gòmez Oviedo while he had released 4 issues, a couple of them were released on the French imprint Nowaki Music. One of them, Pasajes consists of the long-running progression which is imbued with remarkably varied sounds, provoking intentions, arousing intensities and ear-catching phase-related changes. However, the aforementioned gadgetry is adeptly and wittily set up and thereby ultimately creating a dynamic pointed whole throughout the course of a 25-minute. Incisive droning noises in the beginning part are followed by a sublime rhythmic section and cathedral-alike chanting which in turn are followed by new mind-provoking ones including peppering with field recording drenched elements. The kind of electronic music presented by Oviedo is something special because of embracing wider borders to narrate an interesting, seemingly more loose story to all of us. Indeed, literally it involves some spoken phrases though it seems to be a shrewd measure but not the goal on its own. Maybe I am wrong to guess there is up somewhere the ultimate culmination to be reached. In fact, it consists of various flood tides therefore providing a chance to sustain the excitement and pleasure throughout. Is it the hedonistic one? Yes, in a way but first of all, it is the cerebral challenge with some bits for our soul and slightly a bit for the body. It pours out an immense amount of information yet the information is channelized in an appealing way. Top tier.
