A CREDIBLE EYE WITNESS Vinyl & CDs

Review: Rome's Emilio Urbano has been in the picture since the late 90s, and it's clear from his dark and explorative aesthetic that he has been greatly influenced by the Eternal City's other cult artists like Leo Anibaldi. His moniker has always been A Credible Eye Witness, or ACEW as is written on his own imprint, and sounds that feature on tunes like "Gravity Dance" and "Storm Attack" have always represented him as an artist - toxic, cyber-punk tones that remind us of artists like Convextion. Even "Taj Mahal", with its comparatively quirkier sounds, is ACEW all over - honest techno for the dance floor.

Review: Italy's Emilio Urbano is back on ACEW Studios (A Credible Eye Witness) and it's been a long time between drinks; fifteen years to be exact. But what better way to return to the scene with a release featuring three edits by undisputed electro legend Carl Finlow (the man behind Silicon Scally and Random Factor) in collaboration with Alessandro Ferranti aka dj SaY. Absolutely epic sounds on "Many Machines" with its apocalyptic, vocoded vocals. "Control The Rhythm" is killer peak time electro bass, as is "Access Denied". For fans old old Anthony Rother and Bass Junkie & Dexorcist, look no further. Tip!
