Onepointwo – Cycles (Album – Subexotic Records)
Genre/Influences: Ambient, Electro, Industrial, Experimental.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Greek musician Konstantinos Giazlas has already been busy for a couple of years as Onepointwo. This is the second work released by Subexotic Records.
Content: This is a quite diverse and eclectic production mixing Electronic space loops together Ambient and Industrial elements. It all resulted in an accessible experimental format.
+ + + : I especially like the abyssal sensation created by the astral Electronic sound treatments. But my favorite part is the somewhat darker and Industrial-Ambient “Sedna”.
– – – : The work is diversified but there’s less variation in the structures which became pretty linear and repetitive. I would like to hear a bit more elaboration.
Conclusion: Interesting ideas but the way they’ve been worked out isn’t always that convincing.
Best songs: “Sedna”, “Cycles”.
Rate: 6.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
