German Army - Mangas Coloradas

German Army sending signals back from far reaches of time and space. The essence of early rhythmic manufacturing faintly heard from a distant world... something unique is being transmitted. Shrouded by the reverberating din of continual production, machine like rhythms in a mechanical ceremony, Mangas Coloradas arrives in more ambient fashion. German Army energy mutated and twisted, producing what is considered an ebb to the fracturing flow. The ringing of past prolific radiance continues in the ears, but now the decibels have been muffled, the pace has lightened up, what seems wobbly or ethereal is actually very clear.

Mangas Coloradas is yet another beautifully manicured composition by German Army. Near an hour of music divided randomly among sixteen tracks. For fans of German Army, this album provides captivating diversity to many of the past releases. For anyone new to this project, an excellent starting point. The essentials here are the subdued approach with preservation of so many foundational attributes. A moment of introspection maybe, the opportunity to enjoy German Army in alternate contexts. A sonic gem with slowly rotating fissures, the place thoughts dissolve. Mangas Coloradas fulfills it's title, a physical giant commanding great respect.

Released on Muzan Editions out of Nara, Japan. Not sure how many edition were made. The physical copies are unfortunately sold out as with almost all Muzan Editions releases. The digital is ready to be heard and purchased. Worth every bit to absorb this one. There are two physical releases from other artists available from the label and both are of the same excellent fabric Mangas Coloradas is woven from.
