VITAL WEEKLY REVIEW:

7697 MILES – MELI (WD Records CD)

When can you assume people “know” something, or do we need to keep explaining? Once again: 7697 Miles is a duo consisting of Cristobal Rawlins on electronics, theremin, mixing, and Dieter Mauson on electronics, guitar, and field recordings, and the name of the group indicates the distance between them, one in Chile and one in Germany. I have reviewed some of their releases before. Great material in the realm of spacious synth music, along the lines of old school cosmic music and old school ambient house music from the mid-90s. There are well-balanced beats; none used as dance beats, reflective arpeggio work, and some melodic synth lines. Sometimes, like on “Allinyakuy,” the music is all reflective, swirling with a few synth lines and isolated bass notes, and not a lot of beats or arpeggios; it’s clear they’ve struck a delicate balance. Listening to the music, I think about how it was made, the distance, and yet also the organization I perceive in it. Each of the six tracks is beautifully composed and organized, and sounds like two people in a room. “Choicque Purrun (reantü mix)” sounds like Cabaret Voltaire’s “Slugging For Jesus,” with no vocals and equally dub elements in the drum machine. Here, 7697 Miles adds a krautrock element to the music. The combination of these elements creates excellent musical diversity, but also maintains a coherent approach to everything atmospheric and controlled by synths and sequencers. It’s a wonderful addition to an already excellent catalog. (FdW)
