kori One of my favorite releases this year, hands down. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous and intense experience that elevates the senses to a higher state of being. So unified in its execution it's difficult to pick a favorite track.

Danté LeRaé This album is one of my favorite examples of how you can use samples to do some really outside of the box and amazingly creative things. This album is gorgeous, cinematic and a real journey and pleasure to listen to, every single time. Favorite track: Asa Machina.

Review from 'a closer listen' ~

"Luis Pestana‘s debut is unlike anything else on Orange Milk Records; in fact, it’s like little else on the market. The set unfolds like a radio play, embracing multiple genres and instruments: choirs and church bells, woodwinds and hurdy-gurdy. The Portuguese artist calls Rosa Pano “his own folklore, inspired by his mother’s lullabies,” although the timbres are more likely to wake a listener up than to lull one to sleep. There are no track breaks, providing a seamless experience; one is drawn into the dream. We would not be surprised to see a troupe adopt the extended piece for an exercise in creative choreography.

“Oneia” begins as a slow march with church bells, a female voice and a sense of procession. At the end of the track, a clock is wound and allowed to tick; a baby begins to cry. Then chimes ring out and the tape enters a new phase, a fairy-tale world populated by buzzing sprites and synthesized surges that seem more Subtext than Orange Milk. Is the baby sleeping yet? As of Track 3, she is not. Multiple voices converge, keeping her awake and agitated. A short, solid drone leads to the busiest piece, “Au Romper Da Bela Aurora” (“A Break from the Beautiful Dawn”), where zither lays the foundation for an architecture of operatic voices.

The electronic tones return for the end run, percussive in nature, implying a flight through the forest back to safer ground. At the end of “Asa Machina,” the machines break down with a stutter, revealing a persistent choir. A lone flute, possibly from Pan, leads to the nine-minute title track, in which a siren’s cry is answered by a chorus of wolves. As a final drone approaches, the fairy tales crash together on a single shore. Once again, church bells ring, the mysterious story returning to the beginning: cycling, although changed, like a dreamer nourished by fantastic visions. Are we dancing or are we dreaming? Either way, we’ve grown enchanted by Pestana’s folkloric world."

I think of the album as one composition; it inspired me to move slowly, which is the highest compliment, as I'm usually frantically trying to escape my surroundings. I took it to be about America. The way I feel about America is that we're such a "brainwashed" populace, and I am no different from anyone; therefore, the word "America" is a blank check addressed to nobody. Hmm, surely nothing will go wrong if I write my own name on this check... Alan M. Fakename

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce

There is so much attention to detail in the sound design. It feels very elastic in the way sounds are stretched and condensed and the sample choices appear so disparate but work very well together plastique_spastique
