To call the sound Townsend and co. achieve on this record ‘unique’ would simply not be doing it justice. It manages to encompass such a broad range of styles and influences in the space of one album and even in each individual song that I think classing it as simply metal would be an insult, I can only describe the sound by using the word ‘music’ in it’s most broad and all encompassing context.
Llamar al sonido que Townsend y Cía. han logrado en este disco como “único” simplemente no le haría justicia. Logran abarcar un rango tan amplio de estilos e influencias en el espacio de un álbum e incluso en cada canción individual que pienso que clasificarlo como simplemente metal sería un insulto. Sólo puedo describir el sonido usando la palabra “música” en su más amplio contexto.

…inventive metal riffs, unforgettable melodies, ingenious use of counterpoint, off-the-wall meters, dramatic vocals, and audacious eclecticism, and this album is probably the band’s most musically diverse.
..riffs metálicos inventivos, melodías inolvidables, uso ingenioso del contrapunto, métricas poco comunes, vocalizaciones dramáticas, eclecticismo audaz y este álbum es probablemente el más musicalmente diverso de la banda.

Autechre creates a fascinating sonic world on their fifth album release, where electronic pulses and blips are used to create fantastic textural waves. Although it may be hard to take for those uninitiated into Autechre’s unique style (it’s hard to detect melodies upon first listen), you’ll discover something new with each repeated listen.

Aunque puede ser difícil de asimilar para aquellos no iniciados en el estilo único de Autechre (es difícil detectar melodías a primera escucha), descubrirás algo nuevo con cada escucha repetida.

What you basically hear is Bruford’s newest and freshest music, interpreted and extrapolated upon by three virtuosos in mellifluous interactive conversation.
