This must be the most Tortoise inspired band ever heard. Almost every minute, every chord, every beat sounds extremely Tortoise-like to a point where it's almost too much. On the other hand, Italian based Dilatazione stick to their roots in a very romantic way where they worship the sound and compositions of Tortoise -- and it works. The Italian foursome have got talent and even though you wish that they would bring in some more personal flavors to their music, you can sense the huge amount of emotion they've brought into this work. In a simple manner, they've produced some very atmospheric tunes in a vibe that you can trace, especially to the first couple of Tortoise-recordings -- that band's classic era. This means groove based songs with the drums and bass in focus adding nice and dreamy guitar themes on top. Most of the songs are pretty short. It's like the band is afraid of boring the listener with their tunes. However, the last track "Tutto Si Dimentica," (over seven minutes long) is by far the standout track of the album. Dynamic, beautiful, and energetic, it ends in the most frantic mood you find on this album -- leaving you in a state where you actually want the track to go on and on and on. Singer and producer Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator) adds some variation on "Cendri In," and "Cendre Out," with some exotic French spoken vocals. There is no question that this album will have a hard time competing with bands like Battles, Trans Am or even the most recent work of Tortoise, which aims to bring the post-rock further on to a new level. But if you fancy the more emotional and balanced period of Tortoise or simply wants to learn more about post-rock culture, songs and sounds, this might be an album for you and a good place to start.
