JESUS MORA - SIMPLE TEXTURES FOR A COMPLEX WORLD (OUT RECORDS) |
| |
Like the gentle voice of a leviathan deep in the recesses of outer space, rumblings thump subtle and beat-like in the distance of "Hybernations" extreme ambient flavor. This is the first track on the very spacey flavors of "Simple Textures for a Complex World" by Jesus Mora. "Delivery Vessel" presents an unwavering ambience, like that of a dead spaceship, with glitchy, minimal textures forming a sort of beat structure. "Se Abre Le Puerta" steps up the aggressiveness of the beats (though this is still midtempo and the aggressiveness is relative) and moves the CD into (again, relatively) more conventional song structure. "Presence" returns, and darkly so, to the ambient realm of opening tracks, presenting a more menacing and lonely space flavor. "Conversacion Secreta" maintains the ambient motif, in a pulsing way and with textures skittering in the background. "Pasillo" occupies the same space as previous tracks, its distinct personality manifesting with metallic echoes from behind. "Agreement" commences with quiet electronic tones generating a slight melody while glitchish beats informed by D rhythms move quietly alongside. "Drifting" needs no other description than its title. "Delirio Onrico" adds a bit of drive to the pacing and "Firefly" takes a turn for the glitchy. "Ideas in Solitude" rises up from quiet but shadowy textury beats toward the bass and higher pitched plinking and the show closes with "Texture 9" returning the disc to its expansive ambient roots. This is a terrific CD of space music that takes the genre from its fans-only extreme to flirtation with accessibility with the infusion of textures and almost convention beats (but sporadically so). A solid and engaging, all-consuming collection of tracks. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
