A musician in search of his own electronic music language's cookbook.

PANABRITE: Contemplating The Observatory (2010) Most contemporary electronic music composers were given almost free or easy access to top technologies when in comes to electronic instruments, gadgets, virtual & portable recording studios and their respective editing tools etc, etc, etc.. Opposite to, let's say 20 years ago electronic musicians and less, of course, to last century's ones.

What technology can not possibly provide are the human conditions required for artistry to develop, less to construct an own artist language.

So if taken as a young composers' electronic music influences listing performed with top tech sound gear in a 15 track album it will be easier to understand as derivative (to avoid calling it rip offs even though it is not for free and/or derivative of his own language but it sounds nicer said that way ).

The trip includes at least 20 stopovers to various of Panabrite's evident influences ranging from Jarre to Enigma to Zanov to Morton Garson to Tonto's Expanding Head Band to both TD & K. Schulze (how original) to White Noise to lots of other familiar faces.

If it was not meant to be a tribute it sounds like that and adds, if not any kind of originality, fun to the game of "Guess This influence?".

Now the rating thing.

For collectors who already know or appreciate PANABRITE'S future works, who I'm still not one of them so far, therefore I'll check it in the loyal fans & friends: 2 stars box or as a reviewer conclude that it "lacks 90% original music language and maybe someday he will deliver it or maybe not but it is, I repeat, extremely well recorded."
