Description
The duo of rhythmic trances cut to this 7 collaboration between a pair of Sao Paulos most avant-garde powerhouses writing and playing together, resulted in mammoth blooms of hypnotic, tropical-primitivist sensory modality.
Our take: Released for their recent joint European tour, I believe that this isnt a split 7, but a collaboration featuring two tracks with members of both Brazilian groups playing on each. However, Im not positive about that. I can tell you that each of these two tracks are as brilliant as Raktas incredible recent LP, Falha Comum, though they take the echo-drenched dreamscapes on that album and add a ton of percussion and (on the b-side) a bit of industrial-sounding guitar; presumably these contributions come from Deaf Kids as they arent a typical part of Raktas sound. Like Falha Comum, the vibe is similar to Public Image, Ltd. at their very peak, though these two songs are even more layered. The packaging is minimalI thought the sleeve and labels were blank until I noticed the band names and track titles printed on the inside of the sleeveand while its a shame that it doesnt have striking artwork a la Falha Comum, the music is more than great enough to stand on its own.
