Unknown Coordinates by Dom Mino

4...according to our on Thu 07 Jan, 2010.

I've only touched on bits of Dom Mino's work in the past so i was pleased to see a brand spanking new rekkid sitting in the review box. Dom Mino specializes in soft, glitch infused electronica of the kind you might have heard The Remote Viewer or Four Tet touch on in previous releases. Enhanced by the participation of Akira Kosemura as producer, 'Unknown Coordinates' takes the blueprint of electronica and runs with it, incorporating Akira Kosemura's piano work with chicago jazz drums, brass, oboe, vibraphone, glockenspiel amongst a plethora of other instruments. 'Cartaforbicesasso' is an awesome example of live instrumentation and electronics working in perfect harmony and 'Goodbye, summer rain - U.C edit' is a reworking of a Akira Kosemura's tune (of the same name), edited and rejiged into a cozy little synth lead instrumental dance number that shimmers in a subtle yet excitable way. The is blissful listening, both light and breezy. Brian likes to calls this sort of stuff Mumtronica......it's that nice.

Last year, a London resident artist Dom Mino made his vivid debut. Now, his
second album is finally here after 2 years of waiting!! Akira Kosemura partici-
pated as an executive producer, and Paniyolo also joined as a guest for this
astonishing piece.

The album starts with Liquid Architecture, which was awaited to be put in
the album after Dom Mino played in Japan tour last year. Continuing track
Cartaforbicesasso, Dom Mino directed the groove with contrabass by him-
self. Also, for the third track Good Bye, Summer Rain -U.C edit- is actually a
new album edit version of Akira Kosemura s Good Bye, Summer Rain which
will be put in his 7inches analog record. In Tilo, Dom Mino shows fantastic
collaboration with Argentinean sound artist Federico Durand.

In the grand finale, Dom Mino put his signature electro beats and contrabass
over Kosemura s piano. This final track Unknown Coordinates could be the
masterpiece which would make all of us imagines an unfulfilled future.
The album Unknown Coordinates is an invitation for imaginary journey with
multinational guest artists. Only the music could write coordinates in the map.
