Sula Bassana- Sulatronics 2
(st cdr 006)
From Aural Innovations May 2009 update
Sula Bassana is back with his 2nd CD of mostly electronics but it also includes
a drumbox, guitar, samples and mouthharp. There are 5 tracks in this one hour
CD. Sula recorded these tracks between 2006 and 2009. Barbarella is an old school
early 70’s style modular synth modulation track that builds and layers
really nicely. Thora starts off with a totally different sound Stella Star is
a really electronic club techno like track. It has an infectious rhythm. Trillian
is a long track that slowly builds up quite a cool groove that is faster than
you realize, with this modular synth line, beats and stuff. Cool. Pygar ends
the CD and is 10 minutes long and starts very slow and quite with some building
dreamy synth pads and chimes. Slowly a bass line and some synth voices come
and go. About 4 mins in Dave plays some really cool laid back delay guitar over
the top. Awesome track and great way to end the CD. Very cool CD. If you like
Antrillon (Greg from Arc Met, Secret Saucer), you will like this stuff as well.
