Sticking Drops
Meteo EP

«"Music happens somewhere else". I came up with that phrase when I 
needed one for lezrod's myspace site and later found that somebody else 
conceived it for an article on William Basinski and Richard Chartier's 
self-titled on the german magazine DE:Bug. This phrase describes very 
accurately the new release from Sticking Drops, a two people project 
from Italy. "Meteo" is one of the most interesting releases I have heard 
through 2006, and indeed happens somewhere else.
Lorenzo Tomio and Nicola Luchese managed to ellaborate an album where 
darkness and detail result in an awesome sonic experience where time 
runs in a creepy mode and space is merely a bizarre consequence of that.
This mixture of organic timbres and fragmented/chopped guitars creates a 
constant tension that results in a very hypnotic and fascinating 
experience; "Meteo" manages to keep the focus very intensely as the 
structures work in a very narrative way, very storytelling and yet very 
abstract.
Test Tube always releases pretty amazing material, but I have to say 
this record was very special for me and I am very honoured and glad to 
get to review it.
Indeed an album that stands out.»/ - David Velez
