Titanic - Vidrio (2025 repress)

Vinyl comes in a heavy reverse board sleeve, with a 250gsm heavy card OBI strip & on "180g pink vinyl. 

Titanic is the band collaboration from Venezuelan composer I la Catolica
(Hector Tosta) and Guatemalan experimentalist Mabe Fratti
One could call Vitrio a jazz hybrid record, though once upon a time this
music would have been called postmodern; an answer to pop's prepackaged form, adopting maybe more classical structures to tell a story
In that, this record is reminiscent of Jarman's 1980s contemporaries, The Blue
Nile, who made widescreen post-pop that ached with longing for resolutions that
seemed to be just over the horizon. And for all the deconstructions, the deliberate
raucousness of the sax and the rhythms of the percussion (like waves riding up a
shingle beach outside Jarman's cottage), this is still a music that can thread a
line back to classical opera whilst nodding along the way to the likes of Terry
Riley, or bebop. Over time, and by dint of working closely together, Fratti and Tosta
have reached a state of grace that only comes rarely to artists. In this space they
can do no wrong: the touch, the decision- making, the clarity of the
instrumentation, the knowledge where to apply the emotional press, is nothing
short of breathtaking.
