Oxide by Javi Cánovas

Javi Canovas - Oxide
Review by Geoff Mason

This 16 minute piece starts with a Kraftwerkian style electronic effects then there is a swoosh that washes over like water and then an organ plays an epic emotional feeling section that leads at 3 minutes to a deep bassy thumping rhythm that builds while effects intersperse. It builds while picking up pace and it just gets my body moving. There are Kraftwerk style lead lines but underpinned is more attitude and it gets more intense. At about 8 minutes another lead line joins in and by now many layers of sounds and this is fantastic stuff indeed! What a mixture!! The music holds my attention completely and I am immersed in the heavy brew.Various lead lines are injected one after another, and I do detect some Klaus Schulze influence in there as well at times, bless him. After about 14 minutes it dissolves into atmospherics as the brew fades away and leaving me wanting to press 'play' again! this is one of the best that I have heard from Javi in a long time and is proof that Javi is as strong as ever right now. A must have EP from Javi Canovas!
