Album Review: Ernesto Ferreyra – La Paraiso De Las Tortugas (Cadenza)
By Paul Vig | Published on Tuesday 5 October 2010
Hailing from Argentina, but having called Mexico, Canada, Germany and Ibiza home in the last ten years alone, this is the debut artist album from Ernesto Ferrerya. Called ‘La Paraiso De Las Tortugas’, or ‘The Paradise Of The Turtles’ if you prefer, it’s being unleashed on the world by Cadenza, the label owned by Luciano, whose DJ sets have been supported by Ferrerya quite a bit of late.
It’s an eclectic affair, if a little mixed quality wise. The title track and ‘Back Pain’ are both a bit noodley, while ‘Coin Saint Cath’ is a touch over-boiled, if you know what I mean. But there is plenty of good stuff too. ‘Lost’ is a highlight, with its minimal beatsy tech, while ‘Acequia’ goes off on a bit of Tangerine Dream tangent, and final track ‘El Comienzo De Todo Lo Demas’ lowers the tempo but without going the standard chill out route, being full of mechanistic influences.
So, not all winners here, but some nice food for thought and a good debut effort, leaving a number of future paths open genre-wise. PV
