Release Notes
--------------
The spanish trio composed by Luis Alcazar, Juanju Rodriguez and Miguel
Lacal strikes back with a new surprising album, Made in China, 13
tracks where they assemble best synthpop and guitars in a unique sound
wich identifies them.
Theres not only electro sounds, but a singular attitude that take a
shape into memorable tracks difficult to forget. If the first album
Machines was a futuristic one, here is a more melodic, less rythmic
release, defining a mature, developped sound. You can like it or not,
but youll find out something different for sure. Tracks like King of
shadows (wich opens the album), Time will take you or Stop, punching
basses and kicks, resonating synths and very processed vocals, tracks
that remind the roughest side of electronic music. Hypnotic sound on So
fine or Red (with its vocoders round and round) that mix kind of
uplifting rythms and experimental flickers. Head in the clouds or Still
I feel seems to take charge of the releases most commercial or easy
listening side. Nice choruses and verses, soft synths and recognisable
beats; anyway, this is Com.pulsion, so they always hide a wink to
surprise the audience on these tracks. Maybe the less identifiable
piece is Filthy, a dark guitar song joining very electronic beats and
sadomasochist lyrics, you can dance it but you hardly can, revealing
anxiety, sin and finally surrender.
Maybe the most brilliant contribution of guitar player Miguel Duarte.
Then, we find songs like Dragged and defeated, Silk skin or I saw you,
with most emotional words inside, beautiful melodies, mid tempo beats.
I saw you ends up the album with a progressive developpement of sounds
and feelings. A broken guitar, and then...the end. Or maybe not,
because the counter keeps going .. the last track...To resume, the band
has surpassed the insecurities of their first release with this second
one. A well assembled set of songs, a polished production, a high
quality artwork. A longlife music piece to be enjoyed over and over
again.
Special mention to the fact that this is a double CD, with a CD2
including 9 remixes by the hands of spanish electronic scene like
Ziclope+Scud Hero, Debod, Computah, Sonorama or Faz, and other artist
