Sometimes you can tell from the first
listen of a recording that its creator
has a totalizing vision that transcends
time and genre. You will experience
this rare sensation when you play
Panoram's 'A Doom With A View.' The
Italian producer has tapped into a vein
of surrealist sonic collage that's at
once allusive and elusive. The album
parades baffling micro-movements past
your ears like a secret history of
misunderstood musical remnants heard on
damaged media formats, 50 years after a
catastrophic disaster. It exposes
continuity and logic as specious myths;
jettisoning these vestigial elements in
order to make space for a higher form
of aural alchemy.
A Doom With A View's two long tracks
come off as a scrambled signal from the
final crackles of the information age;
at times you feel as if this music's
been filtered through an advanced
race's sensorium before it penetrates
your lowly mortal ears. Its transitions
seem at once logical and absurd. Just
when you think you have a grip on its
progress, Panoram makes a mockery of
your assumptions. He bathes guitars and
keyboards in a space-age sheen and
swathes them in freaky interstellar
frequencies and disturbing turbulence.
Despite the Andromeda Strain-like
chaos, something sensual and dramatic's
thrumming under the surface. This is
the soundtrack to a golden age that's
rusting around the edges. Its
degradation holds you rapt, its Elysian
inferno beckons you to hum along to its
eroding siren song. In a perfect world,
A Doom With A View would be the last
thing you hear in this life.
