Giuseppe Rotunno - Aequilibrium
Giuseppe Rotunno - Aequilibrium |
Italian Giuseppe Rotunno is going
out on a limb by being a solo artist producing instrumental electro-prog songs.
I mean, it's not necessarily something you can imagine clogging up the charts
as a 'scene' any time soon but does that make it a bad decision? Hells no. We
need bravery in music otherwise we'd never get anywhere. This new track,
'Aequilibrium', is good five minutes long and features a range of influences
from Jose Gonzalez, Muse and Massive Attack to the likes of Genesis, Ludovico
Einaudi Rush and Yes. At times it sounds like incidental music from the menu
page on a role playing game for the Nintendo and at other times it sounds like
the backing track for some experimental spoken word project but at no point
does it sound like anything else I've been sent for review in the last year or
so. Am I likely to put this on in the car when I'm out for a drive? Probably
not. Am I glad it exists? Absolutely. And I hope more comes from the expansive
mind of Mr Rotunno.
