First impressions
of the deeply contemplative debut album from Marco Shuttle range from the
profound to the sublime and back again. It's a piece of work that forces the
listener to take notice in order to not miss a detail. Something constantly
bubbles beneath the surface but seems eternally out of reach. Making
comparisons with the current prolific crop of other Italians currently plying
their electronic music trade is the first crutch to lean on, but, although Shuttle
doesn’t seem to have distanced himself too much musically; for example starting
off with the ‘The Chaos . . .’ a
thirteen minute epic collaboration with Donato Dozzy, which is a primitive
ambient journey, generally reminiscent of the latter’s sonic outlook, he has
also plotted his own, deft path through the type of slightly disturbed
post-industrial, landscape so often inhabited by his peers. Peaking with the
full-fathom five brassy drone of ‘Elephante,’ onto the Millsian ‘Volts’ and
appropriately calling it a day within the crystalline dust of ‘The Way Out’
this is a collection of thought-provoking compositions that has been
strategically released towards the end of the year for maximum atmospheric
impact.
