2004 release ** 3"The different musical experiences of the individual members are evidence of the promiscuity put into play. Valerio Zucca (aka Abstract Q) and Fabrizio Buzzoni, respectively on electronics and guitar, grew up musically in the 80s with the crossover band Nasty Nurses, influenced by Faith No More and Naked City. Zucca will go through the most diverse experiences, from the psychedelia of Disoriente, to the jungle-ambient duo Abstract Quadrant, also active in the cinematographic field. The two are joined by the electric guitar of Danilo Corgnati, who passed through various punk bands in the city to land in the grunge of Mayflowers And Mantras, with reference groups such as Nirvana and Screaming Trees. The result of this mix, Essence Of 3EEM, is to rock what Mick Harris's Scorn are to Napalm Death (that is, very, very little). Electronic sounds that tend towards ambient (sometimes reminiscent of Orbital) mix with the guitar and sax with an approach that recalls a way of producing and a sound that is typically Laswellian (Reverse). But in this album it is not difficult to also recognize echoes of cosmic musik that hover between the songs: not only Tangerine Dream, but also hints of kraut rock. As in the case of the conclusive 24 Apes, twenty-four minutes of cosmic-electronic delirium, psychedelic sketches and changing rhythms, which pass from ambient-dub to trip hop. On these soundscapes the sax phrasings and guitar arpeggios draw figures that blend into the electronic sounds creating fascinating timbre blends. In the grandiose construction there is also space for flashes of pseudo rythm’n’blues (In The Beginning It Was An Accordion) and a strange free jazz mixed with techno (Kinfu).
