Ricardo Donoso - Ricardo Donoso - Progress Trap [Vinyl]
Barcode: 634457065703

Ten years after the transcendent syncopated debut Progress Chance, Ricardo Donoso returns with a pulsing retrospect of rhythmic determination and wide-eyed wonder with Progress Trap. The moods on these electronic miniatures vary from piece to piece; some somber, brooding, and laden with mystery, others starry-eyed, tinged with sci-fi, and hungry for adventure.

Connections are finally forged between Donosos early hardware synthesizer arpeggiation experiments, his darker and more abstract work with an emphasis on synthetic textures, pulsation, and sound design and the more recent extreme full throttle electronic mayhem and prog inspired technical opuses.

Progress Trap is as harmonious as its predecessor allowing dissonance to subtly seep in, providing mere hints at the undercurrent of threat hidden beneath the music's smooth surface. There's a lot to digest on Progress Trap, as with Donosos entire canon, but as always, the effort is repaid.
