Our Take

The latest offering from the enigmatic Durutti Column, "Obey The Time," is a mind-bending voyage through the outer reaches of ambient post-punk. With the kind of experimentalism that would make Brian Eno blush, Vini Reilly weaves a tapestry of ethereal guitar work that transcends genre boundaries and defies categorization.

From the haunting opener, "LFO Mod," which sounds like it was beamed in from a distant planet, to the serene beauty of "Simon Was," this album takes the listener on a sonic odyssey unlike anything else in the music sphere today. Reilly's intricate guitar melodies dance and shimmer like reflective light on a still pond, creating a sense of otherworldly calm that is both hypnotic and comforting.

Tracks like "Bordeaux" and "Neon" showcase Reilly's masterful command of tone and texture, blending dreamy reverb-drenched guitars with pulsing electronic beats to create a mesmerizing sonic landscape that is as immersive as it is engaging. The result is a sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of what is possible within the confines of popular music, a true testament to Reilly's vision and artistry.

"Obey The Time" is a triumph of creativity and innovation, a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend time and space. So, do yourself a favour and obey this album, for it is a journey well worth taking.
