Jonáš Gruska "CAA#9" (Cyland)


[[$20 // 7.5" Polycarbonate lathe cut // https://cyland.bandcamp.com/album/caa-9]]

Right away I can tell you that since this is twenty dollars for a lathe cut it's getting the digital treatment because Russia is a long way for a record to travel.

These are three songs that have a lot of beeps and could be made using any sort of electronic device that also can adjust frequencies to various levels.   In a lot of ways it has that feel of R2D2 to it and as such it makes me feel as if R2D2 is communicating with some other droids so naturally I enjoy it.

This is my second time listening to and reviewing something by Jonáš Gruska and as such I feel the need to point out that even with that sweet, sweet guitar hum drone there is just something different about this collection of three songs.   I recall the other four songs as having more individual qualities where these flow together almost as one.

It's not bad that they do that though because it just gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment after listening to this all the way through.   Additionally, you wouldn't just listen to any of these tracks by itself either but more likely the entire piece and finding a way for the listener to listen to it all is quite the achievement.
