As a provocative companion piece to the innovative Eighth Tower Magazine of Music and Modern Mythologies, mastermind/curator/CEO Raffaele Pezzella has curated a CD of audio exceptionalism, which epitomizes the Unexplained Sounds Group's aesthetic intent. The compendium is entitled Anthology of Electroacoustic Music From Portugal, and it probes (or more precisely, X-rays) the mind-bending grooves and vibrations of the region.
On the whole, the exquisite compositions conjure an unearthly climate, which ranges from the serene to the demented, but on occasion, when the extremes do, in fact, meet, one is treated to a haunting hybrid of both fantastic factions. Some tracks even feature environmental and tribal beats to enhance their epic content.
As a taste of what's in store, the CD's enlightened artists are listed on the left, with their track titles on the right:
1) Vitor Joaquim ... Forgotten Voices (ft. Lula Pena)
2) Manuel Mota ... aah ooh
3) NIN-FAE - Vesper
