"Avanti" means "forward" in Italian, and it's clear that Alessandro Cortini sees this particular LP as a step forward in terms of what he has to offer to the electronic scene. Out through Point Of Departure, we see the artist moving away from Hospital Productions and Important Records, two labels on which he engraved his name clearly into our minds. This album is a much more personal affair to the man, apparently born out of his granfather's Super 8 tapes, a format he was introduced to as a child. In fact, there is something particularly heartfelt across these seven luscious tracks of electronic euphoria, at times verging on melancholic. While there is a strong element of noise and power electronics at the core of the LP, each and every one of these tunes presents itself like a love ballad, permeating their way into our soul thanks to delightful imperfections across all instrument sand samples. It's a photo album - one which seems to grow and expand from beginning to end. Recommended.
