The Two Towers
By
Claudio Casanueva
Written by

The works of Claudio
Casanueva are well known for being lush expansive arrangements of simply
idyllic ambient electronic music. On The
Two Towers, the latest single by the artist, nothing has changed as
Casanueva brings us something almost film score in standard; one could easily
see this being used in a movie segment, its vast steady onward procession of a
repeating ambient motif is totally encapsulating, one can almost hear the words
of English poet Robert Browning as he
wrote "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came"
I have always admired the quality of Casanueva’s work and
this talent and skill is on full show once more, while listening to it the mind
conjures up images of an ever onward trek towards the tower, perhaps through a
far reaching and barren wasteland of a desert, the hovering anticipation on
synths and keyboards is simply blissful, and should be absolutely adored by the
legions of the artists fans and lovers of good music everywhere.
