Guest Mescalinium Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Tegma - Sentenza / Tabla Artist: Tegma Title: Sentenza / Tabla Label: Plusquam Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 09'18" Sentenza 02. 08'36" Tabla Review: To those who liked Tegma's previous efforts, I say: you will like this more. To those who have yet to discover this up and coming Swedish act, I say: get this now. Sentenza is probably the best song I've heard since Filur's Timesteps. It's very different from everything else I have from these guys. The slick, uncompromising rythms, the heavy, syncopated bass stabs, the crystal clear production; they're all still present. What's new here is on the upper end of the audio spectrum: the melody. I'm not talking about those minimal Shiva Chandra-type "melodies", these are sharp, vivid, and float on top of the mix like shimmering flakes of ice in a perfectly chilled cocktail. At once dark, melancholic, yet uplifting, this song is just a beautiful piece of music. Tabla is slightly faster and more upbeat than the a- side, with some nifty tribal percussions (as the name would imply), a pounding, mildy acidic bassline, and a gregorian chant in the midsection that will send shivers down your spine. Perhaps less emotional than the flip, but equally driving. Both tracks on this EP are excellent, and come highly recommended to dj's of any style. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
