DsorDNE - Carceri flac mp3 download

....In 1992 DsorDNE released their cassette album Carceri (‘prisons’), which echoes much of the sound of their great and sole Vinyl LP E Un Sole (Hax 1990). The German label Klappstuhl can be heralded for re-releasing DsorDNE’s now quite rare cassette on CDR. Recorded between 1989 and 1991 the seven tracks on Carceri are de facto solo recordings by Milanesio, who in the liner notes displays his fascination for Franz Kafka. The great German author, who is well quoted but not that well read, is certainly all over the introduction of the album; a doomy, post-apocalypse soundscape with electronic sounding like insects thrown in. It proves to be a fine introduction to 'No Time', which surprises (me) with its sequenced post-punk drums and funky bass line, which continue in 'Giorni E Luoghi' - adding ambient synthesizer lines. Starting with out the rather in-your-face and the ‘of its time’ sounding drum patterns of the previous tracks 'Scimmie' gains some well-deserved space in return. Adding spaced vocals and ambience the drums kick in during the second half of the song, giving it a post-punk feel. A lovely piano melody (a bit like Wim Mertens) introduces 'Solo (E) In Movimento', which strongly contrasts with the previous tracks. 'Liquidi Silenzio', on the other hand, proves a return to the drum beat-driven sound of Carceri, which would do well at an ambient dance party. Closing track 'Carcer'i leads us back to the atmosphere of the opening track: all doom and gloom with a nice trumpet thrown in. In all, and even though I personally prefer the more subdued earlier ambient recordings by DsorDNE, this is a particularly strong and professionally recorded album which should appeal to anyone with an interest in Italian post-punk ambient music.
