Posthuman Tantra - Transhuman Reconnection Ecstasy
(Legatus Records - 2010)

Some time ago I've been wanting to hear the new full-length dark ambient artist Edgar Franco Tijucana, but waiting for the right time to absorb the "odd" peculiar and new material of his one-man-band Posthuman Tantra, which had the participation of artists from all over the globe, doing justice to this work. Transhuman Reconnection Ecstasy can be defined as: a work dedicated to the world.

A priori shocking, yes, it puts us in touch with a culture previously unheard of. It's like tasting a new flavor, a fruit from another region if you've never heard of.

The initial impression one gets is that we are within a fiction film! For fans of genre films, is to choose the time, listen and go crazy!

Beginning by The Cyber ​​Pagelança, an introduction that mixes roots Tupiniquins with a cybernetic future. I have already quoted the culture shock, right?

Another song that definitely deserves mention is the dark age 4, "The Sinister Human Mantra of Dogma," which was attended by Dimitri Brandi, the Brazilian metal band Psychotic Eyes, that draw the attention especially of extreme metal fans.

Following the singing of the birds of "Gaia's Holes The Ritual" which suggests that you "do not give in to hatred", a sentiment that would be the result of disruption of the perception of our true nature.

We arrived at the track 7, "The Meme's Misanthropic Extinction" at this late date we are absorbed by the human universe post, forget the notion of time and not get carried away by the synthesizers of the various artists who participated in this song.

In the poetic "Thin Blue Sphere" can speak of the possible truths (not to be confused with dogma), where love and the present moment is quoted as a reference for our eternal existence. The melody moves and maybe make navigating through sincere and real emotions.

"Transhuman Tempestuous Totem" adds uniqueness to the album, maybe because several instruments, perhaps because I suspect the listener more to talk about (see cameos).

Nearing the end, the beats of the last track "Towards the Earth's Womb" with the feminine touch of voice Asenath Mason (Poland) and the remarkable voice of Mike Vonlanthen the band Transzendenz (Switzerland) invites you into the strange and good feeling of wanting the album does not end. Fixing: he wanted the album to continue.

The last track, "Anthem of the telluric Reconnection" is divided into three acts. The first one reminds me of the fictional "AI - Artificial Inteliência" where beings are treated as disposable objects. In this same act comes the slap in the face of limited "obtuse illusion that only the visible and tangible is real." In the second act, the transition has already recognized the phrase: "The true victory does not overwhelm the other, the real victory is not painless for anyone. It's simple, sweet and serene." Finally, the last act, the man returns to his essence. Here the words are no longer relevant, but the state of indescribable serenity and reflection that gives the album.

If you want to escape the obvious, get out of it and contact new prospects, this is a good thing.

Despite the highlights, it is interesting to hear the complete work in a single shot, for better appreciation and contextualization. The result of this adventure, well, obviously he is also quite personal, but for me it was very worthwhile.
