*FIRST 100 COPIES COME WITH A BONUS FULL-LENGTH CD IN GORGEOUS
HAND-PACKAGING FEATURING REMIXES FROM THE REMOTE VIEWER, THE
BOATS, BRAEL, PART TIMER AND MANY OTHERS - HURRY* New Moteer
acquisition Con Cetta hails from Sicily, expanding upon the
label's established sound with an album of beautiful,
evocative processed sounds, exploring the properties of the
looping and layering techniques available in the post-glitch
era. While much of this album might be seen to approximate the
classic clicks+cuts sounds of late period Mille Plateaux,
there's a sublime late night aesthetic here that's effortless
and hugely involving, perhaps more closely resembling the more
melodically accommodating sounds of Mokira or even 12k's
shuttle358 on 'Connecting Forming Averaging Positive'. More
shuffling ambient strategies follow on 'Ken', which takes some
emphasis off beat-like rhythms and instead immerses the
listener in the granular judder of Con Cetta's lively
circuitry, something perhaps best exemplified by the Tim
Hecker-like piano and field recording blur of album closer
'Mentis'. "Micro" establishes a wonderful harmony between the
familiarly warm, melodic compositions of the Moteer sound and
a more experimental, ambient approach to electronic music,
making for another exceptional transmission from this
always-great label. Gorgeous music - Essential Purchase.
norman:
Over the years Moteer have produced some fine records. The
label has developed its sound so you pretty much know what
you're gonna get with each release. Some nice acoustics over
some small baby sized electronics and bingo the label are on
the phone inviting you round to Moteer mansions for some
cocktails and that. I do like a nice cocktail..... Anyhoo This
Con_cetta 'Micro' CD fits in nicely with the label though to
my ears it's a bit different for the label. Sure there's the 2
vital ingredients above but there's a lot more here to . The
opener kicks off sounding just like Brian Eno's Music For
Airports or perhaps some early Harold Budd with some light
style Fennesz crackles and wisps in the background. The
melodies which hacksaw their way into your tiny minds are very
much correct and present. If you listen to this through
headphones you'll get the crackles and all the small micro
electronics you'd regularly miss. I have to say I quite like
that as I've heard this a few times and listening to it
through headphones makes me feel like I've discovered some new
dimensions to the record. Lush ambient electronics, coupled
with lots of Moteer style twinkles, melodies and whatnots all
crumpled together to make a delicious CD pie. I have to get
the pies in somewhere.... I've not had one all week, despite
the fact an award winning pie shop has opened up locally.
Seriously I've done really well. I've managed to block pies
out of my mind until now. Arses.... Well if that hasn't sold
it to you (my fascinating pie talk) then the 1st 200 copies
come with a bonus remix CD featuring mixes by The Remote
Viewer, Part Timer, The Boats, Then Dof and lots more. If it's
anything like the last Moteer release with the bonus CD then
don't dawdle as it's gonna fly out. Quality!!
