Be Maledetto Now! - 1 [Boring Machines - 2009]

Be Maledetto Now! are an Italian duo who make wonderfully hypnotic, often eerily & haunted harmonic space bound analogue snyth scapes. This twelve inch is part one of their first full lenght debut album with part two coming in the form of a cd.

The projects sound is often quite stripped & lo-fi in it’s feel  with only one or two layers of synth texture  or sound going on at one time, which adds nicely to the melancholic, lost & eerier space feel of the tracks. On offer here are two seven minute plus tracks on side one & then you flip over to a seventeen minute track that takes up the whole of side two.  I guess comparison wise this sound a bit like a more stripped early Tangerine Dream mixed with 70’s  analogue synth sci-fi movie soundtracking,  through the last track does have slightly more modern electrioncia feel to it in places. The tracks are often quite harmonically memorable & eerier drifting along in a highly atmospheric & often hypnotic manner; the pace is mainly kept fairly lo-key to sluggish mid-pace. There are some slight  rhythmic elements  present in most of the tracks here but these are mainly taken in by the slow spacey stabs & blips of the keyboards.  Each track is  made-up of weaving synth textures, all manner of lo-fi blips & noises, some treated guitar elements and that’s about it.

All told a very enjoyable, consistent & atmospheric shot of analogue based synth music with a distinctive melancholic sci-fi edge to it.
