This lends the record an acoustic breadth and a physical presence reminiscent of the golden age of European electronic music, when meticulous attention to analogue sound was the essential foundation for every synthetic venture. Each track on the album is a route, a window opening onto a specific place: the warm, physical Brazil of “Pulso Dourado”; the dawn of “Before the Sunrise”; the sea as a symbol of freedom in “Non torno più”; the French night of “Dans la Nuit”; the Mediterranean myth of “Cor’e’Mar”; the rebellious Salento town square of “Mo’ sona la festa”; the electronic jolt of “Far from Here”; and, finally, the hypnotic, expansive closing track “To the Desert”. The voices form one of the central pillars of “UNIVERSAL”.
