Dickson & Familiar: All the Light of Our Sphere
L'incedere è largo, quieto, incruento, ma anche piuttosto sonnolento, in quel suo deambulare sempre attorno a situazioni e temperature decisamente univoche, quindi largamente monocordi, oltre che già in ogni loro singolo anfratto ben poco avvincenti, convincenti, coinvolgenti (magari avvolgenti, questo sì, ma un po' come un magma informe, melmoso e scivoloso, che non sembra proprio offrire troppi motivi di attrazione).
Un album, quindi, destinato a chi ama farsi avvolgere da una musica che non ne ostacoli in alcun modo ogni possibile afflato, ad essa connesso ma anche estraneo. Non appartenendo a questa schiera, non possiamo che dichiararci ben poco convinti della bontà del lavoro, pur riconoscendone la logica e l'assoluta coerenza intestine.
Avanti un altro.
