Back From The Wave – SIDE-LINE

Romina Cohn / Naiborg – Acid Call + Acid Call Rmx (EP – Space Factory)

Inferno Sound Diaries — Sat, 18 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Genre/Influences: Acid, Techno, IDM, EBM.

Format: Digital.

Background/Info: This work resulted from the collaborative efforts between Romina Cohn (Argentina) and Naiborg (a project which also worked together with DJ Hell). These are two separate releases; first there was the EP “Acid Call” featuring four songs and next the EP “Acid Call Rmx” featuring five remixes.

Content: The original work sounds like modern Technoid-Acid music; pretty underground driven with minimalistic sound treatments and touching ground with IDM and even EBM. The sterile timbre of voice of Romina Cohn reminds me of 80s Electro-Wave projects and has this magical touch. Remixes have been accomplished by Julien Mercier, Back To The Wave, Jauzas The Shining and Final Grll (2 remixes).

+ + + : I really love the minimalism of the original “Acid Call”-songs bringing different influences together; definitely acid and techno-like but also IDM and Electro-Wave. The vocals are adding a true extra to the production and makes it accessible for a wider audience. This music is going to make you dance to trance.

– – – : The remixes are cool and adding diversity compared to the original edits but without the similar acid magic.

Conclusion: Great, modern, Acid-Techno vibes with an 80s touch on top.

Best songs: “Dance To Forget U”, “Your Soul”, “Kiss Me I Want To Make Love” + “Kiss Me I Want To Make Love – Back From The Wave Remix”.

Rate: 8.

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.

Back From The Wave – Psychic (EP – Space Factory Records)

Inferno Sound Diaries — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Genre/Influences: Techno-Body, EBM.

Format: Digital.

Background/Info: Back From The Wave is a French project which has already released a few works. They signed to Space Factory Records to unleash their newest EP featuring three tracks plus two remixes.

Content: All songs are driven by solid bass lines and Techno-Body vibes with space-like strings and effects on top. Remixes have been accomplished by Panthera and David Carretta.

+ + + : This project sounds like a true addition to the Space Factory roster. According to me all tracks could be used as title-song which says something about the potential of Back From The Wave. The sound is the perfect offspring between EBM and Dark-Techno influences. David Carretta boosted the title cut with a harder and faster kick while he also added extra, menacing sequences. This is the absolute highlight. Panthera also achieved a powerful remix of “Corrosives Influences”. Last but not least the last cut “C345B” sounds like an extra dancefloor cut.

– – – : I don’t have true minus points to mention nevertheless I always regret when a remix by another artist is more convincing than the original edit.

Conclusion: This is a solid EP for Techno-Body heads.

Best songs: “Psychic – David Carretta Remix”, “Corrosives Influences – Panthera Remix”, “Psychic”, “C345B”, “Corrosives Influences”.

Rate: 8½.
