Prolific electro producer Intelligenza Artigianale's second album reverts to the organic and evolving sound with a collection of electro/techno stompers and vocoder-fueled ballads. Constrained by the use of a single drum machine and synth combo (TR8S + SHO1a) the melodic elements and techno rhythms are constantly summed up and rebuilt in strange new arrangements topped off by sad, yearning vocoder duets– “gravitation weavin' through the singularity” “you and me suspended in this”—which keep nagging at your soul. Composing under these constraints clearly suits IA, because this is dreamy, enveloping, heart-stirring—and possibly the best thing he’s ever done.
