Marcin Bachtiak and his Cold Fusion.

The latest proposition comes in a form of Simmetria - the album which consists in the skillful amalgamation of the military music with neoclassical inspirations and the imperfection of the emerging sounds, which climbs upwards touching the redness of the Sun, while metal raindrops are turning into a landscape of these particular compositions. By all means, a very outstanding raindrop is 'One', a track which revolves around one idea, bating some parts, while simultanously revealing the core of the idea itself, which substantially consists of a very particular sort of a smooth whisper, complemented by standard vocals. The title composition "Simmetria", constitutes somewhat a futuristic equivalent of the ethno music, whose imperfection of electronic fragments speak volumes about the ingenuity and sheer genius of the artist. "Melencolia" takes you aback with its rather different atmosphere and features definitely the most delicate whisper on the described album. Its rhythm is practically continuous, in a slightly peculiar way, yet flowing towards the musical direction, which was once taken up by Cold Fusion. Unfortunately, this type of sound, which is still strictly associated with rather inaccessible underground circle, is characteristic of the music, which cannot be put into words unambiguously, as only your sense of hearing may fully register and grasp the specificity of this curio. I recommend Simmetria with all my heart to those fond of military music and the ones open towards experiments in the field of sounds. One way or the other, the record does not bore or tire but surprises pleasantly and I am more than sure that I will reach for it, as well as for the other pieces of Cold Fusion, more than once.
