This is the second part of a musical trilogy that began in 2001 with the release of Music Typewriter by Moreno + 2. Now it's drummer Domenico Lancellotti's turn to step out front. The original idea of making it a bossa nova trio obviously became sidetracked, as the album veers into idiosyncratic experimentalism right from the start. But there are infectious rhythms throughout, even as the tracks bleed into one another, and a low-key Brazilian funkiness pervades the whole album. As planned, the rhythms are vital to the whole record, even more than the melodies (which show their face subtly rather than traditionally), whether made by man or machine. It's a record of exploration, both in ideas and arrangements (at one point electric piano and cello combine on a line that manages to be funky and achingly beautiful at the same time). But it's a disc that demands several listens to bring out its delights, and here the devil really is in the details, which need to be examined. It's far from easy listening, but well worth the effort. Just don't expect anything like Moreno Veloso's album. ~ Chris Nickson
