about
Within a musical framework echoing the long road between 2001 A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, passing through the light, density and abstraction of Tarkowsk’s Stalker or Solaris, The Astroboy (Luís Fernandes moniker) takes us on a sci-fi voyage through memories of an uncertain future, arid and tense, wandering through digital pulsars and synthesized depictions of interior landscapes.
Back with a new release (this time on cassette, allied to the digital download format) after A Derrota da Engrenagem (2007) and 090309 (2009), The Chromium Fence inaugurates the recently-created artist collective PAD and gives body to a retro-futurist drift for the project, keeping its exploratory nature and synthesizer-based instrumentation, with guitars and digital-manipulation calling to mind the adventures of Klaus Schulze, Harmonia or Cluster.
With the direct invocation of the Phillip K. Dick universe – in the album title as well as in the name of some of the tracks – we find ourselves dragged onto an intergalactic dance floor on Coordination Sphere, to the alluring mechanical movement of neon-lit metropolises in The Voight Score (a track that appears twice, in the original version as well as a version by :papercutz), or onto the contemplation of the void from the cockpit of any orbital space station in Glow before exploring the alien topography of an unknown planet to the sound of Cliffs.
