Panacustica’s fourth release is amongst Cosmic Metal Mother’s finest work. “Time is now” the track in question, defies definition by mastering a style on it’s own, by fusing elements echoing from prog-rock drenched with emotional content into an adult and contemporary way of delivering which is unique to the CMM writing style. The original is melancholic bliss. A vocal line at the center of the piece whispers words about Oscar Wilde and Mr. death accompanied by a cello melody that grows bigger and bigger into an angelic cascade of notes. The track begins and ends in the most bare way with just a drum beat leaving you with the feeling you have just entered a loop where time is irrelevant. Commodity Place has the second cut of the A side. The duo from Rome, known in the global underground of the vinyl tribes for their signature guitar style, chooses to call their mix “experience”, clearly paying homage to the gods of rock, delivering a guitar solo that will fire up your speakers and fill your eyes with the brightest psychedelic colors that we all so desperately need in this age of grey anonymity. The B-side is a full eight-minute mix by the man who needs no introduction and made us all dance since day one, Larry Heard, a.k.a. Mr. fingers. His version is a fast “four to the floor” track, where a shaker drives the house beat into the melodic lines and voice borrowed from the original, making it one hundred per cent dance floor efficient with the modernity and mastery of his touch
