Genre/Influences:
Minimal-EBM,
dark techno-body music.
Background/Info:
The
Fool’s Stone is an Italian combo featuring Gaia Brigida (live performing
artist), Hard Ton (mixing disco and High-NRG together with acid) and Adriano Canzian (known for his minimal
body-techno music). The Fool’s Stone have already released a few EP’s and are
now finalizing their debut album (which will be released on Space Factory).
Content:
“Prey”
is a sonic symbiosis between dark EBM bass lines, techno-body sequences,
raw-minimal arrangements, danceable kicks and vocals that have been produced
with minimal-like effects creating the effect of an extra sound input. There
for sure is a retro EBM input, which is mixing elements from the 80s and 90s.
The
title song has been remixed by Fractions and Arkademode while Dave Inox did a
remix of the song “Futura” –which has been released as EP-title song in 2018.

+ + :
No doubt about it, The Fool’s Stone is a successful combo and I can’t
wait to discover their debut album. This EP confirms the band’s potential,
mixing different influences together, but mainly osmosis of EBM and techno
music. The tracks are minimal, but reveal a real knowledge in the sound
creating and production work. The work is filled with great little details. The
new song is a great exposure of this band’s talent and potential, but I also
have to admit all remixes are worthy of examination as well. I however have a
little preference for Dave Inox’ raw-sounding remix of “Futura”.

Conclusion:

you don’t know of The Fool’s Stone their EP’s will be a perfect introduction
while awaiting the album.
