Mother Earth Took Poison In Her Soil
Fine-tuned fusions of braindance and nEuro-wavy inspiration result in shapeshifting aces at the hands of Lucerne’s Belia Winnewisser
Previously appearing on these pages as half of α=f/m alongside Rolf Laureijs, on ‘Mother Earth Took Poison In Her Soil’ Belia shows off her considerable solo talents in a well balanced sort of retro-futurist mode where Radiophonic audity intersects Rephlexian braindance and mutant European synth music at both pop-wise and more obtuse junctures.
The six tracks span a spectrum of quizzical and optimistic feels, luring us in with Plaid-like glassy melodies alloyed to trampling techno mechanics in the title tune, then teasing a sweetly heart-in-mouth feel with ‘Dancing Patterns’ eliding AFXian charm and glyding nEuro synth pad promise. ‘Haze’ checks for a more tentative exploration of tangy microtonal melody and thrumming rhythm urges, and we’re best impressed by her tip-of-tongue arrangement to ‘Unattainable Promises’, again deploying an AFXian sense of development to her fizzing, reticulated breaks and plucky strings that sound like they scuttled out the studio circa ’Richard D. James’ album or ‘ICBYD’.
