One doesn't have to introduce either the el-hero Wladyslaw Komendarek
or the Generator.pl "label"-artist Przemyslaw Rudz to the fans of
sophisticated electronic music. This time we can admire a conjoint of
both musicians. Already the title of the work itself announces
something very special indeed - well, let's see, what unexplored
secrets does the REM phase of sleep hide...
The first track is built in a warm, folded style, which reminds me of
Tangerine Dream's Flashpoint; one can really enjoy the majestic piano
chords and a typically Froesean guitar in the second part of this
piece. In our dream we become watchers of scattered bluesand castles,
which disappear slowly and turn ivylike into a concrete wave
shimmering with darkened colours.
Our second dream consists of dismantled waiting for crispy snow, while
we are hiding in the shade of a huge metal ice-core-container. The
ground is too slippery, we shouldn't take a walk, let's wait for the
weather to make its mind - but what is happening on the other side?
The whole plain is being searched through by some faint limelights of
rusty cranes, which stroll about like hunchbacked mechanical giraffes.
The music could be defined as explicit electronic rock, but the first
minutes of this track sound as if they were taken from some dusty
electronic trail recorded by Alex Smoke or Peter Benisch.
In the third track we will get to know, whether nightshift bulldozers
can play the drums; behind their backs we can see the wonders of
photosynthesis happening here and now. Komendarek and Rudz drift
towards daring experimental electro-jazz - they let some new sunlight
through the windows of Vangelis' Albedo 0.39 in.
The fourth dream
means slowing down and falling into deep fog. We must hurry up and buy
a package of ambient staples before the sequential spiral comes out of
its hiding place, somewhere between the solarized beach and abandoned
lairs of sea-snakes. The Listener gets lost in the labyrinth of
notions, what do all these chalk signs mean. Brilliantly surrealistic
17 minutes.
The final track can be interpreted as an homage to rock-oriented
Tangerine Dream - it's pretty cool stuff, full of surprising
chord-dives into halftones, spicy rhythm line and fairly aggressive
guitar tunes. It's hard to tell whether we are observing airports in
turmoil or neural interactions, pictures change even faster, when we
try to pay attention to their shapes they just disappear like heaps of
foam when touched with a piece of soap.
What we're dealing with here is a very explicit content, a daring
odyssey full of daring associations. Strongly recommended.
