........Carbon
7
continue to release new and exciting recordings The latest
recording is "High Infidelity", by PRESENT "Souls
For Sale", a track which was originally the first part
of Ceux den Bas, on the album N°6,
plunges us into a piece lasting 27 minutes. The piece is divided
into several intense phases, with more contrasted soundscapes,
and especially the addition of a brass section, which, emerging
from the wall of sound provided by the basic line-up, better
penetrates the emotions of the listener.
PRESENT is inescapable, and the steamroller continues its
work in this great fresco. |
