Christian Lisco - Thoughts

  • Share
  • Komisch's latest record, its first for 2014, marks the debut of Christian Lisco, a DJ and analog-loving producer from Bari, Italy. Thoughts presents three acid tracks that are more house-y than the label's usual tough, detailed techno, and its grittier moments are its best. "007" is a low-slung cut anchored by a particularly bruising kick drum, suffused with shadowy pads and punctuated by sharp, buzzing acid. "005" employs similar, though more subdued, pad work, but its faster-paced drums feel a bit awkwardly arranged at first, and otherwise it sounds too clean and by-the-numbers to really stand out. The last track, "006," finds a happy middle ground. For nearly eight minutes, its resonating licks of acid tease and stretch over a gaunt drum groove. Overall the record reveals some raw potential, but is nothing spectacular.
