    il gruppo di improvvisazione nuova consonanza is kind of an acquired taste, Morricone, Micalizzi and their friends scratched their darmstadt school itch when playing in this band and the results are slightly too avant-garde and atonal for a pleb like me, but and there's a big but, the title track here has some of the greatest breakbeat action ever committed to magnetic tape, and the rest of the record has plenty of weird percussion sounds so for sample heads this is still worth owning on vinyl.

    at some point in the last few years a switch has flipped and music based on synths went from being used to describe the future to being synonymous with nostalgia and the past.

    This record is a great way to get reminded of how the weird sounds of synths were used to evoke alien landscapes, weird machines and fast moving technology. Geesin is a master at work.
