In particular I very much enjoyed the last track.... Journey to the Centre of the First 1.2
A dark moody ambient album... but with a smooth silky texture as well.
Definitively better on a second listen.... a few years after the first!!

Epic 45 Slides....
Most enjoyable indeed...
Not bad, not bad at all :) Another new label to get to grips with! Keep them coming Adrian.....Adrian wrote:Fabio Orsi....Von Zeit Zu Zeit
In few years of work Fabio Orsi has achieved critique and fans, imposing his name as one of the most important and representative of the whole international experimental and electronic independent scene. Backwards proudly presents his new work titled Von Zeit Zu Zeit.
This composition was recorded live in Berlin (2010) and after edited and mastered by Fabio Orsi in late 2011. Orsi plays synth, guitar and filters and, for once, he just puts aside the warmth of the melodies and the samplings from the endless Alan Lomax archives, so close to the culture of his homeland. This time, he proposes two obscure and - partly - cold tracks, comparable to the kosmische musik - as if Fabio had embraced that "Central European" humus breathed in Berlin. This cold, this early darkness turns into an oneiric remembrance, a daydream... The hovered sounds of these two compositions make the listener's mind float in the space and, mostly on the second side of the record, the music gets warmer, rarefied and ambient, with a seductive hypnotic power.
Backwards released this record in a limited edition of 200 copies all in black wax, with 6 photo inserts.
Reissue of 102 copies on orange vinyl.

Pan American...... Renzo.
"In preparation for Pan American's River Made No Sound album (released on Kranky in the US), 'Renzo' has been put together as a subtle taster of what is soon to come from this highly acclaimed production project. Three tracks are included, each exclusive to this EP, clocking in at just under thirty minutes playing the time. Each track drifts effortlessly through the varying emotions and feelings that the Pan American project has become synonymous with, whilst also providing a calculated glimpse of what is yet to come. The EP opens with 'Running Dog (Reborn)', a deep and spatial visionary journey that plays heavily with dub based sound aesthetics whilst maintaining a balance with techno and electronic production techniques. 'Toy Triggers', is a short ambient piece that drifts through the motions of melancholia and hopeful melody, allowing for change and paving the way for the closing groove. 'Renzo', which is essentially the key track here, provides a valuable insight into why Pan American has become such a highly acclaimed production project. Containing all the classic trademarks of early Pan American productions by combining the ever present elements of warmth, groove and feeling, the track drifts further and further into the use of haunting melodies and atmospherics, an element very much at the heart of forthcoming River Made No Sound album."
