ORGAN & SLEEP: NESHTATA V NESHTATA (AN ELECTRONIC SYMPHONY)

Musica Orizzontale blesses music lovers with a remarkable album from Organ & Sleep (Orqan & Sonno), entitled Neshtata v Neshtata (aka, Hewata B. Hewata). Its five, fine parts interlock to create an evocative, electronic experience, layered and stacked like a bamboo stem, while designed to coax one's cerebral sockets.

Neshtata v Neshtata brings to my mind "I Sing the Body Electric" (both the Whitman poem and Bradbury fable), plus all things mechanical that augment consciousness: simulated and fabricated, but invoking as much feeling as any organ(ic) germination.  

There are moments when Neshtata v Neshtata's drift diversifies in its voltaic texture, and that's good. Its tracks are shaded and cultivated, allowing its prevailing peculation to beckon a variety of sensations. The experience is at times sedating and at other times undomesticated, but on the whole empathetic to the highs and lows that mark warm-blooded life.

Neshtata v Neshtata would also work as an ideal soundtrack for a cinematic, science-fiction epic (I'm thinking along the lines of Metropolis. Blade Runner, The Matrix and Forbidden Planet), but to pigeonhole its high-tech fluency would be a disservice to Organ & Sleep, which has sculpted an opus that deserves to be taken on its own aesthetic accord.

I recommend plugging into Neshtata v Neshtata when the doldrums strike. Its human-forged notes are certain to jump start one's spirit and captivate one's heart:
