Edward Sol - Belladonna Psyched Astroland download free

"Music by Ukrainian Edward Sol has been reviewed quite a few times and it becomes stronger andstronger with every new release. His LP with Brume (Vital Weekly 1030) was a highlight and sincethen he's been on that high end. This new work is not much different, be it that I think some ofthese pieces are a bit too long. I still have very little knowledge as to how this music is created,but I would think it includes a fair bunch of electronic devices, as well as a guitar, voice andperhaps turntables. The ten tracks here are defying categorization. One moment you think thatit is 'industrial music’; the next it is all some wacky pop music, culminating in swift montagetechniques not worlds apart from what one calls musique concrete. Throughout the music is'heavy', in terms of production, which sounds like it was recorded it much ear for the small detail,but also perhaps a bit heavy on the moody side of things. It all sounded great; it just that whenSol tries to combine all the elements he puts in a great four minute piece and extends that intosomething that lasts seven to ten minutes, you notice that the tension evaporates. It goes on abit too long and couldn't hold my attention. That happened on all of the four pieces that havesuch a length. Sol's strength lies in keeping matters short and to the point. I prefer a shortercassette that sounds so much stronger, then a lengthy one with some weaker brothers.") Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 1076
