Greg Fenton reviews cv313, Hidden Sequence, Fletcher, Taction – Artist Series – Alt/Dub
I love this release because the music it contains expands the mind through a motion of possibility, like the future is ever-present in defiance of the ready-made nostalgia of light entertainment. cv313 starts exploring mystery and poise through atmospheres and the overlapping of electronic sequences as they unfold in heavenly directions.
Azteca by Hidden Sequence then adds extra punch to the rhythms as percussion sways in time with more subtle background noises, creating intrigue. Fletcher’s engaging Distant Place provides my favourite number here as plucked signatures ignite warmer keys and a real depth of meaning. However, Taction’s Caesious comes in at a close second with its lush sweep of breathy voices underpinned by dark rushes of beats and booming bass, feeling suitably majestic.
Release: May 26
