180g Vinyl. Catalog Number: ANMS8410.1 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 3700187684105 LIBEROSIS, an album in three chapters, marks a significant milestone in Canblaster's artistic journey. It presents an introspective odyssey through 18 tracks expertly mixed by Steve Dub, renowned for his work as the sound engineer for the Chemical Brothers (Canblaster's role models). This record deftly navigates across the realms of pop, club, drum'n'bass, 2-step, and dubstep, subverting their narrative and stylistic conventions while probing the nature of the "drop" and human-machine dynamics.Operating within an intermediary realm, it neither purely serves functional purposes nor delves into conceptual abstraction. Instead, it conjures landscapes evoking themes of apocalypse and renewal, hope and inevitability. Vocal fragments in an enigmatic yet evocative language punctuate the sonic landscape, reminiscent of the ethereal ambiance found in video game soundtracks like Final Fantasy.It's a world propelled by both human emotion and technical prowess, evoking the spirit of Yellow Magic Orchestra and the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, albeit more in essence than in direct musical influence.
