Barrio Lindo - Menoko (Purple 2LP + Download Code) - Project Mooncircle

Project Mooncircle continue to dig into the deepest pockets of contemporary electronic music and pull out truly unique delights. But this debut album from Argentinean Barrio Lindo is a whole new level. Even the title (a Mapuche tribe word for virgin water, untouched by man or beast) shimmers with specialness. Fusing the sonic spirit of his motherland's folk with synthesis and sampling, the entire album weaves an otherworldly, ultimately spiritual web that charms you from the off. Perhaps one of the first modern producers to make sense of the panpipe, Barrio's approach, technique and execution commands full attention.
