Man On The Living Road - D E M O

ladies and gentleman....
let me introduce you to the universe of ''Man On The Living Road''.
i found this release by chance, it caught my eye with it's simple and straight cover artwork.

and what i found after unzipping the files was a real great surprise in the most positive way.
tagged as ''rock, experimental, industrial, cinematographical, math '' , i thought i knew exactly what will come out of the speakers.....

but i was fuckin' wrong!!!!!

this is definitely NOT the usual stuff, this is a brillant piece of sound, made with heart and soul.
this guy - Felipe, out of Bogota, Colombia - is on the way to create his own little universe
within the music-scene.

while listening to this ep, i was reminded on lots of great musicians - let me make that clear:
this sound is unique and no copy of any other artist, i only tell you 'bout this to give you an explanation - sometimes i think of 'Pitch Shifter' and their famous 'Desensitized' album, a minute later visions of the wobbling guitar sound of the early 'My Bloody Valentine' are raising in my mind, i hear 'Cure-a-like' guitars....and so much more.

but all these impressions are not superficial, 'cause in the very first way i hear ''Man On The Living Road''.

it's heavy and it's emotional, it floats and drifts, surrounding you, it crawls out of the speaker and in the next moment
it explodes in an remarkable way....

and it has a very cool sound, hard to believe that this is 'only' a demo

so if you are openminded and ready to explore ''Man On The Living Road''s microcosm, you will be rewarded with a phantastic piece of extraordinary music.

i can not / will not mark any track as the best or something like that, this is a massive unit - so listen at once!!!

for me, Felipe has created one of the most impressive releases of this year.

please support his work as much as you can (and check out his myspace-page too)

if this is the future, i'm not afraid anymore.
