Lorenzo Senni is a new name to me. Here's his debut album on Keshhhhhhhhhhhhh Recordings. I can't be arsed to count the H's... I know there's more than 1 and less than 10. It all seems un necessary to me though undeniably 'H' is a under rated letter. It's always about 'S's and 'T's around here which pisses me off. Anyhoo on with the show.... Early Works is an 8 track CD in an A5 (ish) postcard style sleeve with the cover having a flying killer whale in the background. Musically there's 8 tracks of crackly ambient sounding electronics sounding a bit like a scarier Machinefabriek at times. Some of the tracks sound like someone trying to tune a radio and getting loads of weird sounds and the odd melody creeping through as the radio tried to tune into a station. It's an interesting album with hints of Flourescent Grey in it's disjointed abstract behaviour. This will appeal to folks who like the harsher end of the Raster Noton gear.

5...according to phillipe lo bianco.

This comes as a shock as it is a debut album that could easily be a raster-noton release by noto....having said that the tim hecker style of abstract sound moves it into touch/12k territory!brilliant and a stunning debut that one hopes launches the career of a special talent! bravo and ola :)
