Background/Info:
Italian project Plaster was originally set up
in 2008 as a duo featuring Giuseppe Carlini and Gianclaudio Hashem
Moniri. Throughout the years several productions saw the light of day and
Moniri remained the single member of the crew. While most productions were
released by Kvitnu, Plaster also got signed to Stroboscopic Artefacts. This
newest work got released by the end of 2019 and features two songs.
Content:
“Mongrel” is a
technoid driven song, which is animated by dark loops and (sampled) fragmented
vocal parts. The song is accomplished with retro-like sweeps while the track is
progressively reaching a little climax. The other song (cf. “Harden”) has a
similar approach, but is maybe a little more repetitive.
+ + + :
What I mostly like is the minimalism of the
composition. This is not cheap techno music, but a mix of influences and ideas
around techno stuff. “Mongrel” is the most noticeable cut for its apotheosis.

This is an easy and
entertaining production although there’s nothing groundbreaking here!
Conclusion:
“Recall” finds its
place at the growing area of experimental- and dark techno productions.
