Adult Life

This is shining and pure electronic music. Adult Life continues Carlos Giffoni's work in slow-building drones and prickly, trebly peaks, but he also imbues these new compositions with subtle structure and blind-siding rhythmic pulses which recall the many pioneers of electronic composition, among them Cluster, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream. The caustic melding of foreboding abstraction and lively pulse raises Adult Life to a paradigm of the breathing and the immaculate, a strange set of dichotomies finding a shocking common ground. Carlos Giffoni describes this as some of his most musical work to date, a pure electronic excursion into more grounded troupes which almost paradoxically work out completely new sonic concepts and ideas.
