James Ferraro - Clear (2009)

label
buy

"In typical Ferraro style this record plays through as two meandering sides, despite being marked as three tracks, cruising through new age synth blurs and shopping mall loops like a valium-dosed Marty McFly on a hover board clutching a new Klaus Schulze album and supping noxious slushies. A drifting cluster of synth drones holds the first half of the A-side before ferric submerged MoR rock seeps under the surface and keeps our heads pinned under. On the other side drums frolic from a shiny silver boombox on the edge of a late 80s porn set, keeping the mood uptempo yet fucking creepy while stray edits blow around the surface like a fluffer's chamois cloth, brushing against the surface of the record and dirtying the already orgiastic axework. Alternatively this could be the soundtrack to an endless infomercial for some patented butt-toner, either way we're glued to the spectacle. Awesome."
