Samuel Cadima - 70TU5 [2021]

YANDEX (192 Kbps)

DISCO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO (especial atenção para a faixa nº 3)

For his third full-length release `70TU5', skilled Portuguese multi-instrumentalist Samuel Cadima creates an intoxicating fusion of unpredictable instrumental prog rock, krautrock haziness and floating electronic atmospheres. With a range of guitars, mandolin and keyboard effects, a mix of early Porcupine Tree/solo Steven Wilson works, the dreaminess of Agitation Free, the tender earthiness of Deuter, the eclectic crossover styles of Djam Karet, Mike Oldfield's fanciful touches and the strident momentum of Neu! slowly unfold (sometimes even in the space of one piece!).

Sublime mastering by Dirk Jan Müller of modern Krautrockers Electric Orange and his solo Cosmic Ground project help reveals `70TU5' as another superb effort that shows impeccable taste, subtlety and a richness of focused ideas, from a range of vintage and modern influences given a wildly original voice.
