Line Noise - Auralspace Divine
[Boltfish]

A new EP for net label Boltfish this month, from veteran online musician Line Noise. Rudy Gonzalez the man behind the project has been creating electronica since around 2000, but to hear the quality of music presented and how many releases this prolific artist already has to his name, you'd be amazed to think Line Noise is little more than a few years old.

Besides running his own net label (the superb Lacedmilk Technologies), Gonzalez releases his music on countless other labels - Camomille and Openlabs instantly springing to mind.

Auralspace Divine is a four track EP of mixed electronica. Starting in true style, The Sea Glider is a track Modern Love would be proud of. Detroit basslines bouncing all over the place, acid tweaks, machine gun percussion, Rhodes and a hybrid of techno, house and electro. Blue Sea Aeveum introduces stammered drum & bass beats, yet closer Blue Sky Ely PtI sees sweeping melodies from gliding synths battling for space with harsh electro beats.

With so many twists, turns and genre swopping, the Auralspace Divine EP can't decide exactly what it wants to be. But if anything, this diversity is the key to Line Noise's excellent and perfectly crafted sound, leaving the EP a collage of atmospherics, emotions and slick production. Worth it for The Sea Glider alone.
