Un an ... Une année (moins un jour) après le très remarquable et remarqué "Solna" pour l'impérieux Kreislauf, Sven Piayda (aka ROT) nous invite à maintenir temporellement notre avidité (peu raisonnable, admettons-le) pour le bel ouvrage. 20 pièces ciselées durant un exil convalescent, durant lequel, Sven a mis en oeuvre cette magnifique faculté d'un regard distant (le recul), associée à la cruelle et objective réalité d'une proximité contrainte. Le résultat ? Fort loin d'une hypothétique concentration d'atomes crochus agglomérés, monolithiques et prévisibles en pareille situation créative, "Endurance" démontre la grande cohérence d'un esprit vagabond et prompt à ouvrir de nouvelles pistes. Si d'aventure, l'endurance peut parfois conférer à une certaine résistance restrictive, ici il n'en est rien, Record Of Tides nous régale de saveurs et de contrastes - Un exhausteur de goût!

One year... One year (less a day) after the very remarkable and noticed "Solna" for the imperious Kreislauf, Sven Piayda (aka ROT) invites us to maintain temporarily our greed (not very reasonable, let us admit it) for the beautiful work. 20 pieces chiselled during a convalescent exile, during which, Sven implemented this magnificent faculty of a distant glance (the retreat), associated with the cruel and objective reality of a constrained proximity. The result? Far from a hypothetical concentration of agglomerated, monolithic and predictable chemistry in such a creative situation, "Endurance" demonstrates the great coherence of a vagabond mind and quick to open new paths. If adventure, endurance can sometimes confer a certain restrictive resistance, here it is nothing of the sort, Record Of Tides regales us with flavours and contrasts - An enhancer of taste!

'endurance'
very nice - the drum sounds with a touch of ‘visage’ sound but a little fatter in combination with an interesting flow through the track. [...] enjoyed listening to some very good music there. besides ‘reinform plus’ my favourite tracks are: ‘fulerum county' for the awesome bass line/sound, ‘perseids’ for the silence that lives in this track and ‘care’ has a sweet flow between the fat drum/percussion line and the melody/bass harmony.
a great start into the weekend while listening with a fresh cup of coffee.
