IllachimeQuartet – Sales (LizardRecords)
Formed in Naples in 2002 by Fabrizio Elvetico andGianluca Paladino, and in time joined by Pasquale Termini on cello andkeyboards, and drummer Stefano Costanzo. Basically instrumental, the quartetcombines electronic and acoustic instruments, found sounds and improvisedapparatus. “Sales” is a remix album, and the group is coupled with a host ofexperimentalists and doyens of the musical avant-garde, including Rhys Chatham,Philippe Petit and Mark Stewart. Together they re-evaluate and make their markon a dozen tracks that, in turn, spook, disturb and confuse. All good things, I’msure you’ll agree.The mixture of sounds always makes for an interestinglistening experience, and the various collaborators seem to instinctivelyunderstand the quartet’s innovative ideas and interpret the pieces accordingly.In short, nothing jars or appears out of place, and the album flows quitenaturally. There are, of course, highlights and they include “The Song Of EveryDecline”, remixed by the original four members, Matter’s “Heart Of Darkness”(originally “Bottom Sea Engines”) with its clash of sci-fi vistas, andclaustrophobic interiors, and Ferc’s epic and entirely perturbing “Na-To VersusNato” (originally “Flying Home”).www.lizardrecords.itwww.illachime.netTony S.
