Alessio Mereu’s New EP Trama Out
Who: Alessio Mereu
What: Trama (5 Tracks)
Where: Italy
Mereu’s EP is very spacey and takes quite a bit of thought to truly digest, however once you spend some time with it, it really shines. It takes a very space-age sound and combines it with very interesting elements of 80s instruments. I especially enjoyed Mario Massa’s trumpet additions on a few of the tracks. Combining live instruments in dance music has some really great opportunities because the instrumentalist has the ability to improvise new music on the spot and each time the sound is fresh. You really have to decide for yourself whether this EP is for you, so I’ll leave it up to you but give it a good chance.
