Algida Bellezza CD

Those who pay close attention to the obscure fringes of the ambient scene may already be familiar with Alessandro Tedeschi aka Netherworld. Although he's not been particularly active of late, he's released umpteen quietly impressive - and often icy - sets on the Glacial Movements label he established some years ago. "Algida Bellezza" was originally recorded in November 2015 following the birth of his daughter, with Tedeschi creating everything using a Roland VP-900 and multi-effects rack. These tracks were then remixed and reinterpreted by co-producer Matteo Spinazze Savaris, who shaped them into evocative, slowly shifting arctic epics in the style of Norwegian ambient don Biosphere. Well worth a listen if you're a fan of the latter.
