1) Prologue.

It's difficult to understand modern art! Often in the immense art galleries, paintings are displayed that I can hardly digest. "Great masters," I am told, "for great works," yet in many of their canvases, I only perceive chromatic orgies that even the worst painter could produce. Very expensive paintings executed with very expensive means that lead me to reflect on the famous saying: "those who have bread lack teeth." Imagine that in this air, saturated with little inspiration and limited technical means, emerges suddenly the canvas of an emerging painter, one who has no name and lacks the monetary means to sustain themselves. But this young man has something that the great and more publicized masters have long forgotten: talent, imagination, and the ability to translate their inner universe into images.
Now imagine the gallery transforming into a hypothetical "sound museum," and that the emerging group we are discussing goes by the name of Indukti.

2) Journey to discover the human pineal gland.

A seemingly useless gland gains importance in the '60s and '70s as it regulates the cardiac rhythm and the sleep-wake cycle, our internal biological clock. This is Indukti, the scanning of time in a dreamlike phase.
Emerging group from the now wonderful Poland that continues to offer European music of great quality and intensity (try also looking for "Out Of Me" by Riverside) to the point of losing the coldness with which we often imagine it. Indukti knows how to blend the genius of Tool with the psychedelia of Neurosis going through King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, and a pinch of Echolyn. It is clear that we are facing a must-not-miss record. Violins, harp, drums, bass, and guitar are manipulated with impressive mastery, and the refinement of sound does not pale before the masters of the genre. The rhythmic base fits perfectly, creating a sophisticated, hypnotic, and decidedly trance-like homogeneity of bass and drums. With such a high-level rhythmic base, the high frequencies can do whatever they want, as the structure holds perfectly, regardless of the composer's imagination. But the beauty is that the guitars, violins, and harp do not appear as mere figures; they fit into frantic and dreamlike rhythms. The voice of Mariusz Duda (already the voice of Riverside), soft and melodic, refines two out of the seven tracks offered in this debut that showcases all its immense value in the instrumental tracks. Very interesting are the sound dynamics, sometimes louder, sometimes softer, making the music capable of immense emotional transport. The sound is suspended between metal and a rarefied atmosphere... it's impossible not to be involved, impossible not to get lost in the strong and, at the same time, dreamlike hues.

3) Epilogue

Everyone to the east, folks... everyone to the east, because it's from here that "rock" is restarting. This Indukti album is a masterpiece, and there’s no denying it. We need to showcase even lesser-known painters if we want painting as a whole and the visual arts to have a future, a breath of fresh air, and the ability to renew themselves in their wonder. Indukti has started this journey; I hope they find a place in your CD collection. They deserve it, as they deserve greater visibility in the music scene.

4) Your fortune.

Like all emerging groups, Indukti allows the download of 4 out of the 7 tracks present on the CD. You can find them on their official website. ...your journey to discover your pineal gland has just begun: fasten your seatbelts and hold tight...

 "A different language is a different vision of life" (Federico Fellini)

 A complex but heterogeneous record that does tread into virtuosity but does so with a sonic fullness and a mix of realities that do not undermine its development.
