David Alvarado - Transfiguration, March 4, 2011
This review is from: Transfiguration (Audio CD)
Deep and melodic tech-house: that's the easiest way to describe David Alvarado's TRANSFIGURATION. Alvarado keeps a spiritual element -- listen to the whispers on "Luna" -- that make certain tracks seem especially ethereal. Its sibling, "Luna, Version 2" is equally dreamy, though without the quasi-religiosity. "Aire" is more dubby and dancey, slightly reminiscent of early Swayzak, though the lyrics are slightly trite. "Raindance" goes downtempo with some new-agey vocal samples, but "Sol" gets things kicking again with a slightly tribal rhythm for a long and driving track. And the final track, "Transfigured," goes off in an unexpected direction -- in some ways, I think I would have liked to see more of that weirdness in other tracks. Still, all in all, a good album.
