Freedom Is O.K.

"It sounds like wood, metal and microchip." - that's how Italian producer Lorenzo Nada a.k.a. Godblesscomputers describes his own music. With the follow up to his successful "Swanism" EP, released in early 2012, "Freedom Is O.K." is his debut release on Equinox Records from Berlin and offers an amazing spectrum of organic electronic sounds and feelings. The EP starts with the outstanding and soulful "Green Flowers" - a tune based on a vocal sample, underlined with glitches and smooth electric piano chords. "Nowhere", the next track, keeps on the soulful vibe of "Green Flowers" with added melodies and a mellow, yet pushing, bass feel. "Fire Extinguisher" features the beautiful voice of Francesca Amati (the singer of the Italian band Amycanbe) while "Dirty Motel" brings back sampled soul bits. Next up, "The Plan" submits a nice dubby "under water" feeling and blends over to the remixes. With powerful reworks Error Broadcast's B-Ju and the legendary Italian producer Digi G'Alessio add more bass flavour to the release. Both deliver 808 driven club tracks that should be welcomed by the DJs. "Freedom Is O.K." in its entirety is an amazing new release that showcases Godblesscomputers' brilliant feel for composition and sounds. The combination of wood, metal and microchips probably has never sounded so good.
