The voice of his mother, an opera singer, lifts and breathes in this Lynchean atmosphere for an anthology piece ‘Altre Voci’, which floats in a fine balance over melodrama and anguish. The tone is set.

Let’s accelerate. It is as though we rejoined Agoria in his favourite posture, jumping up and down behind his turntables with the grace of a marsupial that could mix his own tracks together. ‘Memole Bua’ that he binds and melts into the alarming ‘Dust’, this season’s Balearic hit sung by Scalde, whose bewitching voice attracted much attention by its elegant, androgynous preciousness in another worldly first album.

It is therefore hardly surprising that this simultaneously sexy and sad voice should make us want to listen in silence for a few minutes, time for us to enjoy an ecstatic transition piece, ‘Eden’, which will bring us to the heavens, sufficiently high to rejoin Scalde and Agoria on ‘Solarized’. The other bravura passages of the record could very well go all the way round the planet of turntables and lovers. The sensorial dialogue between keyboards and voice is one of the great inspired. Deep, this thing gets under your skin and makes you want to believe that it is still possible to compose classics in electronic music.

Agoria knows how to begin an album. He managed to finish it with two tracks that are all reminiscent of the singularity of the composer of ‘Code 1026’ who transformed Lyon into a French Detroit, where techno is unique because it was fed of Bauhaus and Laurent Garnier.

‘Diva Drive’, finding the best beat and the most perfect harmony. The track immediately makes us realise that Agoria never forgot his raves-parties. Proof being that he catches up with all his dreams, including his childhood dream of working in film and image and that he thought forgotten. Agoria always catches up. [info from news]
