2010 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Packaged in an oversize cardboard sleeve. "I think you may have noticed it, anyhow Andrea Marutti during the last years beside getting involved in a good number of collaborations has kept putting out solo releases (or he simply augmented his hyperactivity). Spiral is not exactly what Amon or Never Known fans may dig, but at the same time I'm sure if you're a diehard follower of Marutti and you've tasted his materials in different salsas I'm quite fond of the fact you'll find spores of his other projects in this release too. Eight track for almost one hour of "music", let's say it's mainly reworked synth material which has a little bit of ambient attitude for what concerns the structure but that reminded me much more of some post-industrial-experimental projects. Some years ago this work could have come out on labels such as Invisible, Possible Records or Sentrax Corporation, I've found reminiscences of Coil, Mika Vainio, ELpH, a simplified Asmus Tietchens and who know what else. The title says a lot, but this is not a loud release and it's also far from being brute or whatever, here are featured a good amount of high and low frequencies and an intentional propension for simple song structures with simple or hidden melodies. I can't say this is one of those releases the majority of you will file under easy listening but betraying the impression given by the album title this is not Marutti in his "heavier than life"-mode so the electronic pussy like you and me won't complain like "nnooo... he's depressed me once too much!!!". Under a certain perspective this is an unusual release with a really experimental and ludique extravaganza but at the same time if you exclude a couple of really difficult tracks, I think this is something definite worth of a try."
