Back for sale! Originally released in July of 2020, we had to halt sales after only a few tapes due to a distribution dispute. That was sorted out, but by that point there were other projects for Nico to focus on, and the tapes stayed in storage... until now. This wonderful album is available once again on cassette!

about

Capas que oxigenan el espacio sonoro, un movimiento que lo antecede, que envuelve el beat, para permitir una nueva espacialidad y resonancia. El músico y productor nacional, Nico Rosenberg, con el LP “Music Holds Us”, lanzado por el sello norteamericano Mystery Circles, consigue construir y envolver el relato, recoger la historia y sus pulsiones, para armar con ellas un cuerpo que se deshoja y muestra cada capa bajo la piel.

Podría ser el relato incidental de estos tiempos, pero hay algo en las texturas que impide referenciar lo más inmediato. El álbum, busca momentos, encontrar las ideas, ahondar en ellas y desgarrar el ambiente, para dar con un espacio suspendido, que contiene estructuras, arreglos y nociones del acontecimiento que, como un Angelus Novus, torna el rostro para encontrar todo aquello que precede.

Un disco que moviliza los estados, que permite la pura contemplación, un encierro en sí mismo, o un confinamiento celeste, como una burbuja dentro de otra, en un ambiente resguardado y concentrado en las posibilidades intraducibles del momento.

Atmósferas que ponen velo a las frecuencias, al movimiento dionisiaco, al rito pagano, pero, al mismo tiempo, ceremonial de la conversión y presencia del sonido, en un oasis en medio del imaginario en el que se encuentra el cuerpo y sus resonancias.

Somehow this one seems more abstract than the previous MC comps, maybe relying more on textures, moods and space than, say, melody. There is melody, of course, sorry my thoughts aren't concise. In any event, with Mystery Circles you can always expect a finely curated selection of tracks that will have you adding to your favorite new artists to follow. No track here is over 4 minutes! Actually, the longest two tracks clock in at 3:39. Impressive. Anthony Childs

Great introduction to a label full of quality artists who, at the time of this writing, several years after this comp was released, have continued to produce fine releases. Multiple styles of electronic are represented and curated wonderfully for a rewarding listen from first track to last. Anthony Childs
