Our Take

ALVA NOTO RYUICHI SAKAMOTO's "Summvs (Remaster)" is a reimagining of their already mind-bending collaboration, but does it hit the same high notes? The answer is a resounding yes, with a twist.

From the first track, "Revenant", you're instantly transported to a world where glitchy electronics and delicate piano melodies dance together in perfect harmony. It's like watching a high-stakes game of chess between a robot and a grandmaster - you know you're in for something special.

The remastering of "Uoon I" brings new life to the mesmerizing loops and textures that made the original so captivating. It's like taking a trip through an intergalactic rainforest, with Sakamoto's haunting piano guiding you through the ethereal soundscape.

But it's the closing track, "Morning", that truly steals the show. The delicate piano chords paired with Noto's glitchy beats create a sense of calm and chaos simultaneously, like watching a tornado from a safe distance.

In conclusion, ALVA NOTO RYUICHI SAKAMOTO's "Summvs (Remaster)" is a must-listen for fans of experimental electronic music. It's a journey through the unknown, with twists and turns that will leave you breathless. And isn't that what music is all about?
