In his early days twenty years ago, composer George FitzGerald was one of the most exciting research heads on the electronic scene. underground English. Stellar Drifting, his third album, tends to demonstrate that the musician has lost the curiosity that animated him at the time of his releases with Hotflush and Aus. This disc feels warmed up in its predictable jerky house grooves, its arpeggios of numbered synths, its pleasant melodies, but so smooth that you immediately forget them. The guests don’t make much of an impression either, not even Panda Bear (Animal Collective) on Passed Tenselet alone London Grammar on the ballad The Last Transmission at the end of the album, which seems plagiarized from the success tear drop by Massive Attack. Despite all this, FitzGerald knows how to take us by the feelings by offering pearls like Setting Sun, Rainbowsand Dreams and the frenetic Ultraviolet. He will be performing at Studio TD on December 10.
