Stylophonic
Pure Imagination EP

LA RECENSIONE

Imagine finding yourself in a level of "Super Mario", while you try to jump over a carnivorous plant placed inside a large gray pipe, you jump on a big green lizard. Along with the moving joystick, there's a disc spinning – it's the EP by Stylophonic. After the single "Baby Beat Box", they create another single of great level but with little imagination regarding the cover, changing only a few details besides the color.

The essential element of their music is a lot of computerized movement, alternating completely electronic moments with pop-underground ones, with total absorption by TOY (a Norwegian group famous for this kind of musicality... thanks to surfer and debaser:D).
The single consists of "pure imagination", a song that expresses a great sense of belonging to this new electronic movement that is taking shape on the planet. It started in Germany with Kraft, continued by Depeche, which seemed to have stopped with the cold and atmospheric sounds of the Swedish Royksopp. Instead, it seems that Stylophonic has resurfaced, not satisfied with a sporadic appearance or the good sales of the old CD. Starting from scratch, they have created a project that has become a reality, beginning to contribute to world music with a fun game of lights, spatial movements, and continuous tempo changes that give birth to a sound that is a synthesis of originality and innovation of great class.

Along with a voice reminiscent of the canons of 50s jazz songs, they place a robotic base that shakes the organism, empties it, fills it with computerized sounds, and reinserts it into the memory card of your head, allowing your overwhelmed body after listening to remember this sound wherever it may be, so unmistakable and unique in its kind.

A great gift from the critics is not enough for Stylophonic, who with this EP have brought us so much good humor, and above all, it has entered our homes knocking and asking for permission. Slowly, it has taken over our lives, forcing us to admit that it has become part of the personal soundtrack of May.

If you don't agree, mine could also be just pure imagination, but if you try not to impose preset standards, whatever your tastes, you will like this record regardless, so high is its value, and it stands apart from those like Mattafix, who tried to create a new standard, but commercialized too much. Here they come, seeing so far as to surpass (in technique and sales) all the rest of the "pseudoelectronic band that made us suffer this icy winter...
