MACULA TRANSFER

Edgar Froese- Macula Transfer (1976) has shown me why.

Even though Mr. Froese was and would be a notable figure in the electronic music fields, he tended to get stuck in his magnificent skills once he had to carry the whole burden not only of the machines he loved but of all the music structures.

He, as this album clearly shows, was a mastermind of creative electronic ideas and electronic instruments combinations & riffs which up to today could properly be called "trademark sounds". Yet on the long run these creative sparks tend to go in circles as if looking for something which could trigger their development and transformation but this rarely happens, opposite to that the music once it has reached its self impossed peak becomes cinematic (or over the top to put it otherwise) and then is when Mr. Froese feels at ease.

He, as the future will show, became a very sought film makers choice for their soundtracks, he had it in him this music/movie spirit.

I who rarely enjoy these cinematic/epic or tragic figures in any kind of music could hardly enjoy this as I do the "uncinematic", deeply cerebral and abstractly emotional Tangerine Dream of that same decade.

***3 PA´s stars.
