I proceed with the #buzz review dedicated to the most experimental and avant-garde sounds suggested by Mr. Buzz aka @[ALFAMA], featuring an artist already presented previously within this same review.
Alameda 5 - Duch Tornada (2015)
After the release of 'Pozn krolestwo' under the name Alameda 3, Kuba Ziolek expands his project with a lineup this time of five members, completed by the usual Mikolaj Zielinski on bass and new additions Lukasz Jedrzejczak on keyboards, Jacek Buhl on percussion, and Rafael Iwanski on drums. The choice to add a percussionist is not casual but rather a precise decision in what is the concept developed in this album released in 2015 and titled 'Duch tornada'. Once again, Kuba Ziolek proves to be a brilliant composer and musician full of insights. The album develops in a completely different way from 'Pozne krolestwo'. First of all, it is fragmented into multiple compositions (13 in total), all still with a fairly long duration. But secondly, what matters most is that the sounds diverge from the previous album and instead of looking to space, they almost seem to plunge us underground or to the depths of the abyss in a process that is not destructive but rather recalls themes from the early science fiction of Jules Verne, the alchemical experiments of Arne Saknussemm, and a timeless space that corresponds to an ideal furnace where droning sounds merge with underwater suggestions, claustrophobic sensations, primitive percussion that repeat obsessively from the first track to the last, urban nocturnal jazz, acid psychedelia, and the trumpeting of elephants, processions of Tibetan monks. As if an ancestral creative force could not hold back and unleashed itself all together with the power of a tornado. As much as charts may matter, it is difficult to determine which album is better between this one and 'Pozne krolestwo', because the two appear as two faces of the same coin.
