Mathematica 5.2 Mien Phi

floating "Agitation"


















HOLA AMIGOS, LES SALUDA CASEY INCA. FLOATING

is a great Chilean instrumental quartet embodies one of the most strikingly progressive proposals that I have discovered hardened in recent months. And we're being customary for the Chilean progressive movement in its various aspects, provides copious musical fire flares: items as varied as Akinetón RETARD, TRYO, ROBOT, EXSIMIO, JAIME ROSAS QUARTET, FLASK, SARAX, MAR DE ROBLES, KOIAK, AUSTRALIS, etc., offer music streams whose respective mills are enhanced with abundant energy and polenta.

What if we concentrate now on FLOATING specific case? They already have an album under his belt and a second self-titled debut entitled "The Turmoil", the same that was published by Mylodon Records in late 2006. This is the disc that I mean when I talk about my shocking experience with the music lover FLOATING sound art. You can access their own audiovisual material on YouTube with two video-clips: 'The Bear's Breakfast' (

Anyway, now I come to comment on the album "In the agitation," I recommend it to lovers of progressive sounds that will bring together the sharp (math-rock, prog-metal) and experimental (the oppressive neurosis KING CRIMSON contemporary, post-rock, noise) on a sophisticated rhythmic cadence partly inspired by the modern jazz-rock. The album begins with 'The Bear's Breakfast, "a sober and elegant exercise friendly, flexible timings, somewhat given to chiaroscuro but in a very subtle way. The most aggressive emerging as special ornaments mostly ethereal atmosphere within the central motif. Establishing more friendly environments of the first portion of the next item, 'Steps Elefantastic'; and the concluding portion more clearly tilted towards the genres, the group comes to a sturdy building solidly sustained energy over a slow tempo. It is in the third track, called 'Sonar' (one of the absolute peak of the disc), where we meet the first neurotic frenzy torn by the assembly, but since this group is not much given to indulgence in monolithic environments , we find a qualification of this frenzy through the development of a cutting bar funky. The structure of this piece reminds me of a cross between ATTENTION DEFICIT and pre-Primus "Brown Album." The guitar solos issued in the final jam raise the temperature Environmental instrumental flights before landing in a disturbing epilogue, prepared with random effects to musique concrete (console tricks, industrial percussion, flute notes). 'The Kiss of the Gorilla' brings some solace to their particular agility, inspired by the KC half of "Three of a Perfect Pair" and the TRYO of the most cheerful. This kiss primate is mainly a prelude to the tremendous "I'm Little," another absolute gem of this album. Being as explosive as it is, how the two interact guitars in the fire gives a good account of the compact unit that operates through the association of individual components. Starting with the main reason, based on a "Crimson Jazz" takes us back to the middle of runs guitarfish intense games adorned antics hyperbolically battery (a la Don Caballero - special mention for the drummer Felipe Morros): This intermediate can oxygenate the reason central, as their resumes carrying a guitar solo that carries with it the intensity of that interlude.
'Zancudo Paw' keeps a cadence very far Zeppelin, with guitar solos that I sound somewhat akin to Gary Moore and Jeff Beck. It is when we are finished with a minimalist ethereal epilogue creates an effective stunt. 'Fat James' shows the band exploring sounds quite hard hazy, languid climates playing sensibly through the first. With the arrival of the second plea the record turns to a totally different area, mixing the obsessive syncopations of math-rock with brilliant force of prog-metal, just this last factor is enhanced in the following reason but the beat is too fast. 'Bugs' begins with ruidismo resources operating as a prelude to a psychedelic jam that houses more energy than is apparent. This issue, as either first, perfectly exemplifies the usual dynamic interaction that constantly generate and Cortes Acevedo guitarists. 'Fat James' and 'Bugs' are also other pieces that stand personally in this impressive repertoire of "In the agitation." The album concludes with 'Subject to the Fish', an effective exercise of post-rock in which the group explores its most mysterious, dream-weaving a musical fog shrouded in shades almost "unreal." Special guest: trumpeter Patricio Carrasco, who displays lines crucial to the development of the general environment.

With "in turmoil" FLOATING shows off his talent to develop a complex and powerful through its solvency and versatility - is a major reference South American progressive today.
