I remember back in 2007 when I first discovered Cosmic Metal Mother. It was a video for his first 12'' on Disques Sinthomme probably published on Nero Magazine. I remember I tried to reach him trough his Myspace because we were both italian and sharing a great passion for slow hypnotic music. The first contacts were difficult, I was messaging him in italian while he was aswering me in english. Unfortunately at that time we lost our connection until the rise of Facebook. With the help of the social network we finally "re-meet". In the meantime he was able to set up his own label Panacustica and release 2 great singles.
A month ago Paolo aka Cosmic Metal Mother was so kind to send me a promotional copy of his new single "Zen Locomotive" (you can see the vinyl and my hands shadows in the fuzzy picture above). The 12'' contains the original track and two remixes, the first by Jealous Heart (Dinky and Matthew Styles) and the second by japanese (I ♥ Japan) Filfla, a sperimental pop/electronic project by Keiichi Sugimoto.
Zen locomotive in his original form is my favourite from the 12'' and (my opinion) is one of the best ambient tracks I've heard in 2011, if you loved Hizou by Four Hands you have to catch this beautiful quiet locomotive. At the moment I'm hearing this track lonely at home but I'm feeling like I'm in Deauville watching the cold north sea with this music warming up my mind. Wow!
The remixes are also a great surprise. The Jealous Heart remix is more oriented to the dance floor, keeping some ambient elements of the original song and adding a great strong bass line. The Flifla remix is what I'd love to play to surprise the audience: something weird and beautiful at the same time (I love that awesome keyboard!).
Zen Locomotive is out now, you can listen the samples on Juno.
For the digital? No digital for Panacustica.
Happy hunt!
