Alpha Is Here.
February 28, 2011, 1 comments
We’ve seen a series of mysterious, puzzling videos over the last few months. We’ve had a brief EP aptly titled Beta as the ultimate prequel to what was about to hit us straight in the face and blow us away this weekend. We’ve been blessed with two track premieres during the last couple of days to announce its arrival. Needless to say, we still don’t have a clue who might be behind RxRy. But we do know that it is finally here: Alpha.
Consisting of 20 mostly short tracks that are divided into groups of four, each of the five groups being assigned to one of the letters of the album title, Alpha marks a huge leap forward for the artistic development of this mysterious project, and apart from that the work is probably indeed “redefining the album in a digital age“. The whole piece is more than anything a triumph of thought and conception, an intellectual masterpiece that is stunningly consistent and with all its mindfully crafted beats and effects one of the most astonishing efforts of electronic music I’ve come across in quite a while, without any exaggeration whatsoever.
In the artist’s own words:
microLP/megaEP
5 modes
4 phases
20 cuts
26:51
waves over wings of glass kingfisher
glacial vapor barrier between a voided
ulterior gravity vacuum complex.
