(Donato Dozzy Remix)
Eric Cloutier has
been fermenting nicely for a while now, and this release could be the one to
bring him the attention he undoubtedly craves as a recording artist. However I
have to admit that while I like it, it doesn’t stand out (listening to it at
home has drawbacks). The reductive, gossamer-light melodies of both versions of
the title track have more weight in their original version, while that embellished by Donato Dozzy skips along barley surfacing from under its aqueous epidermis. ‘Palimpsest’ is Millsian insect activity overlaid with
sonar-like farts, which is nice. The production has great clarity and the attention
to detail is constant. The atmosphere is everything, but I’d have liked more. I
need to hear this on a big system though, that much is clear.
