The Mexican native and Spain resident Fernando Corona has been operating under the alias Murcof since 2002, and here he dives further into experimental ideas via the 11 creative tracks.
“Going Home (IRCAM Version)” opens with a dreamy ambience of beauty and warmth via the waves of electronic ideas, and “Cosmic Drifter” continues that lead into indeed spacey areas of background talking and eerie synth that’s cinematic.
Further along, “All These Worlds Part I” and “All These Worlds Part II” use atmosphere to its advantage, alongside a therapeutic quality, while the later installment showcases beats and a hypnotic backdrop thanks to the stylish climate.
Deeper still, “They Glow” buzzes like the soundtrack to another world and incorporates dense manipulation, and “Fight” exits with an emotive simmering that gradually builds in tension amid much mystery.
A highly artistic affair, Murcof blends techno pop nods and meticulous synth stabs that recruits post-punk and modern-electronica with much imagination.
