A sharp precision and melancholy mixed with chrome steel frostiness surges out from the EP Transitions by Macwolf, which presents a long-awaited musical strictness to all techno supporters, even who are open to the experimental musical sector as well.
The sinister effects of the third millennium’s broken beat, robustness of industrial, the austere elegance of electronica and the yet unknown constellations of off-beat appear on an amazingly coherent four-track EP.
Despite being organic, and a combination patched with conga and a fine melody line, the album initial IN and OUT can not ignore the intensity of the composition and the dark, metallic sounding that accompanies the music.
The following Paraphonic is a gradual decline into a thicker, less sculpturesque and dematerialized musicality, whose shape is still keeping its frames.
The industrial sonority presented with bitter-sweet nostalgy of The Wait is only a transition to the album final 2012, which, in one track, integrates radical closure, organicity, constructivity and all that may give techno a chance to step out of the circle of its own, often negligent reproductions.
