A musical marriage made in Cyberspace
What happens when an unconventional intellectual creator of sounds,
with his apparently incompatible preferences for 70s art rock and
modern computer sounds, meets a Mexican mystic, vocal artist, and
groove specialist?
Zinkl, the quiet type with a predilection for composing wondrously
charming and delightfully unwieldy treasures, and Alquimia, the
enigmatic Mexican music sensualist who runs a musicclub in her
self-imposed exile in London, certainly make an unusual couple. But
they say opposites attract, and these two have deliberately sought each
other out.
"Underwater", their first joint album, unites Alquimia's feeling for
exotic but catchy melodies and polished vocal artistry with Zinkl's
off-beat sounds and percussion sequences combined with tricky 12-tone
harmonies. In an act of creation the two musical night birds have
turned their backs on all the trends and created a magical album: their
apparently opposing aesthetic approaches have given rise to a dozen
surprisingly homogeneous songs which at the same time are jewels that
sparkle from every one of their many facets. Informed listeners will
recognize associations ranging from Kate Bush to Stravinsky yet there
is really no equivalent in the modern pop world.
