Antoni Maiovvi (Album-2010)

Antoni Maiovvi de Berlin

Si fa poc presentava un nou Ep, ara ja esta el nou album…. l’aleman del italo-disco-80-electro….. Esta bastant be el disc, 5 tracks (alguns sobre els 10 min), excepte el track ‘Treason’ de 4 min que es una peça a piano, la resta en la seva linea.

From the film director-ish pseudonym to the gory sleeve to the music on the disc, the infatuation here is obvious and unashamed. With The Thorns Of Love, Antoni Maiovvi (the Bristol-born but no-less-exotic-sounding Anton Maiof, who has made music in various genres) takes inspiration from the golden age of Italian horror cinema. ‘This Is The Beast’ and ‘Class Dagger’ will remind those of us that grew up with Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci of zombies, black gloved killers and scuzzy blood ‘n’ guts, all in fabulous third generation video quality. (Don’t worry: if this sounds at all the preserve of spotty, obssessive virgins, it’s been officially cool ever since Justice sampled Goblin’s Tenebrae soundtrack on ‘Phantom’.) Still none the wiser? Imagine lengthy compositions of slo mo Italo disco (as recently practiced by Kris Menace) imbued with the tension to accompany a stalk ‘n’ slash sequence. Elsewhere, ‘Treason’ is a sombre piano piece and ‘Horsehead Blue’ sounds like it has – to quote the press release – ‘a coked up Brian Ferry’ buried in the downbeat disco mix. By turns danceable, romantic and sinister, The Thorns Of Love is recommended; just make sure you don’t sick up a vital organ. (The Music Fix)

EP del aleman de italo disco-electro, avançament del seu nou album…. i el tema ‘Flesh For Frank Booth’, el personatge de Blue Velvet (que gran peli)

Fright Records indulges it’s Italo fetish after the awesome Gatekeeper record with two well-studied tracks from Antoni Maiovvi. Our protagonist has been crafting proper Italo-electro killers for a few years now, dropping a pair of great albums for Seed in the process. ‘Zulawski’ is obviously informed by a love of Carpenter, Moroder and co, building cinematic tension with starbursting synth and muscular bassline arpeggiations to enhance your dancefloor stance. ‘Flesh For Frank Booth’ is a little more slow and sinister with dungeon drums and glassy-scratching synth strings before ‘Ghostray’ opens with chaotic dissonance and proceeds to venture into Cowley-esque disco-dramatic exuberance. Totally ace.
