Boomkat product review for:

gabo gulbenkian - Explorers

Dramatic Records' web of fictions grows ever more intricate with the release of Gabo Gulbenkian's electro cruise 'Explorers'. Already beloved of XXJFG, the fourth release on this intriguing imprint casts into dreamspace electronica, arcing from late '90s IDM back towards lushly compatible realms of kosmische and Italian soundtracks. It's a sound quite close to our hearts and rendered here in crisp yet sweetly psychedelic relief. Each of the nine tracks are respectfully dedicated to the 'Explorers' of the title, and also accompanied by a brief but evocative quote. For example, the plainsong chorale and glassy keys of 'Arthur Rimbaud (1851 - 1891)' reads "I might well be the child abandoned on the jetty heading out to sea, the little farmboy following the lane whose forehead touches the sky", ok well that's one of the more esoteric instances, but there's also the surreal digital anachronisms of 'Baron Münchhausen (1720 - 1727)' "He spoke as a Man of the world, without circumlocution; his adventures were numerous and perhaps singular, but only such as might have been expected to happen to a man of such experience", each lending these carefully constructed homages a sense of wonder and cute playfulness which is possibly Dramatic Records' most endearing quality.
