Yet another excellent album by Javi that from time to time reminded me a little of Rainbow Serpent.
The difference in style is evident immediately on Red Metal’s opener, “Circadian Rhythms,” a piece of modern electronica with a shuffling dance beat. Not my thing, but well done.
“Radiometry” is more my speed as crystalline sequencing starts us off. A fat synth lead eases its way in, and the track is really allowed to breathe before the beats come in, softer and slower this time. More synths and sequencers are layered in and this one gets a thumbs-up.
“Commutation Q” shimmers with ethereal tones, warm and bright. Bouncy sequencing and thumping beats return for “Cibercafe” in a winning combination as well. Also very good is “Dark Memory System,” another bit of fun synthesizer synthetic sounds. The emphasis is on a futuristic electronic sound, no synth guitars or oboes or even flutes. Mostly upbeat, there are occasional darker moments such as “Liquid Crystal”, a subtler, more dramatic piece.
The title track is completely devoid of rhythm, with warm synth timbres, very nice.
“Radar” is my favorite, a complex number that weaves at least three distinctive, varied movements into its 10-minute time span.
