Luca Martire or simply Luca Noise is the valiant helper of Gigi D’Agostino and co-producer through many years. Luca Noise debuted in 2005 with his first release, a remake of Mike Oldfield’s classic Moonlight Shadow. The first album, Potenza Adeguata, came out last year and already he is ready with another album.
The new album is called “Way Of Life Volume 1” and includes totally 15 tracks. The previous album was mostly Lento Violento and so is this although some of the tracks go a little up in tempo. Way Of Life starts as the trend is nowadays with a quieter melodic track, just as DJ Maxwell’s latest album, which actually paints a pretty neat picture on top of the less inspirational album cover.
Luca Noise' previous album contained a lot of tracks that I did not enjoy very much. This cannot be said about the new album. None of the tracks gets really boring like previous releases. This is both a good and a bad thing. First of all it is good because it keeps the whole sound picture of the album interesting to listen over and over again, but many of the tracks are very short, however. From a DJs point of view this album is not worth much and that is actually the only bad thing that can be said about Way of Life vol.1.
Nonetheless it is hard to argue against something that gives you such an itchy feeling in the back of your head so that one just can’t help the head banging! Actually the new album is lot more “poppy” (if such a word can ever fit the Lento-genre) than Potenza Adeguata. The last album was more experimenting and true to the sound of Gigi but with the new album Luca Noise has managed to find his own stand point. The album is full of great tracks and is definitely the one CD to own in 2010 – so if you have not ordered it already, get going!
Nice review...
