about

Abandon altogether the temptation of listening to this record as (just) another encounter with one of the several incarnations of Gustavo Costa, as if Most People had a certain and constricted role assigned and it was easy to find the right drawer to fit it in. It’s possible to digest the bizarre as mere curiosity and even in the face of sonic provocation the end result can be as ill fated as that of a flawed vaccine, building stronger the chance of mediocrity’s prevailing and finding comfort in the inexistence of variety.

"A Perfect Observer in Random Wounds" is an act of revolt, provocative and thought demanding, new in a not necessarily strange way, but affirmative in a radical form. Facility didn’t do any damage here. The maturity of demanding meaning for each and every moment produced the self-contained equilibrium that these musical pieces show. Anyway, it’s probably not important to understand the specifics of the creative process involved in the craft of this music, since if anyone as the courage to think of composition as a decision making process from all the sounds available, the big challenge is to fully comprehend the extent of the questions here at stake. It’s that individual affirmation that comes across clearly in this recording, as a result of the work done in several paths and as an amalgam of common features of several faces. And the most surprising feat of all is that this new effort in Gustavo Costa’s War is amazingly beautiful, it is concrete political action.
