Alex sed: My only problem with Claro Intelecto is that alot of his tracks just seem to have something missing. The sounds are there, the production's great, but most of them leave me a little cold. I think they just miss that raw emotional element sometimes, there's nothing that really makes my spine shiver if you know what I mean. However, I think I'm pretty much alone in this opinion, everyone else that I speak to has no bad words to say about him. I agree that he's really good, I dunno, just some tracks don't do it for me.
Yeah, I'm with you Alex and that's despite the fact that I'm amongst those people who think that he had an EP which ranks amongst the standouts of last year in the 'Peace Of Mind'. His productions, atmosphere and overall ideas are very very compelling. The tracks grab you immediately and that's a real talent. However, not only are you right to suggest there is an overlaying cold and clinical feel to his music - I feel that too - I also find that it somehow seems to lack quirkiness and is a little bit predictable, in a sort of mechanistic way. I mean, usually so far, for most of his tracks, the location of the changes has been pretty obvious to me even before the changes have happened - and that's when there are changes. Another little prob seems to be a lack of real variation in what music of his (Matthew Stewart) I've heard so far. Anyway, I feel I've gone over the top 'cause as I say, I think those two EPs (the second one was 'Section' ) are pretty special and I can't wait to hear the LP 'Neurofibre'. k
