Maps And Diagrams* - Tactile Love EP

Tim Martin has turned to be an instrumentalist but not as everybody around. An unordinary spatter of English electronica and sincerity of Maps & Diagrams still remains. Robin Saville (one of Isan) had lots of influence on that, too - he has contributed to the first four tracks of the single. These remind of last chords of Isan in thier last album Meet Next Life by necessity. A calm computer music is connected to the sounds of acoustic guitar. I started to remember Corcer/Conboy hearing while hearing that. According to Tim this album was born in the night time that is why it is so dreamy and melancholic. When acoustics are gone simply beautiful and pure background awaits you. Rhythmless structure is sounding full and yearning. When Tim escapes the grip of Robin he tries to get back to the more common synthetical form but Ellips and Oneseg are sounding way more rich and interesting than we heard in his previous albums. Ellips is one of the most beautiful tracks of this summer. I am comfused about that because this pretty sad and sentimental love letter btter fits the mood of autumn. The rain. The wind. The dark streets drowned in the shadows.
