Perfume press reviews!

Rather catchy, don't you think? Now dance! / Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service

El nuevo album de Cineplexx arranca con un click: una ilusión de reproducción analógica que sirve de primera pista para entrar en el exquisito mundo de Sebastián Litmanovich, un universo donde conviven Phil Specto, Brian Wilson, Duglas T. Stewart y Rogerio Duprat. / Rockdelux, Diciembre 2012, por Marta Salicrú.

Perfume takes off with my favorite single, "Cosas de la Vida Normal," and from there Cineplexx takes you on a journey of dream-filled ecstasy. It's as if you've landed on a planet of cotton candy skies and funnel cake trees and all you need to do is lay on a black sand beach with the warm sun and cool breeze. Perfume very much takes on the island life. It's breezy, laid back and classy. Many a maraca is played while delicate guitars strum their way to blissful oblivion, and the vocals serenade you into a peaceful twilight. / Indieshuffle

Drifts towards paradise with "Crawl o Mariposas" / Remezcla

'Cosas de la Vida Normal'. Right from the start of this track, the beat is sure to get you moving! / Indieshuffle

It has hooks, class, rich and exotic instrumentation, it has all the elements that should constitute great pop records. / SoundsXP

Cosas de la Vida Normal itself is brilliant, dabbling between tones of pop and those of a more psychedelic and dreamlike quality. / In Love Not Limbo

it's not too distant from the engrossing DIY pop of R. Stevie Moore or Ariel Pink, a mellow piece of paradise. / Obscure Sound

Perfume, an album that will surely carry on the infectious, dreamy pop. / Sounds and Colours
 
El suave, cautivador y desconcertante viaje musical por parte de Cineplexx y sus sintetizadores desde la primera escucha te envuelve haciéndote sentir infinitamente cómodo. / Me Hace Ruido

"CINEPLEXX GIVES MASTERCLASS IN REMIXING" article

This is an amazing review of the remix I did for Conveyor!

Read it here: http://inyourspeakers.com/content/news/180-cineplexx-gives-masterclass-remixing-09102012

--

Both songs are great works and worthy of several listens, though most IYS listeners (and writers) would probably take Cineplexx's interpretation any day. It is in many ways the golden ideal of remixes: it sports a solid song choice (one that is both catchy and pliable), retains great musical sophistication, adds its own musical flare, drives it with a present and compelling beat, and really manages to hold the listeners interest.

Chau Flaco!

Que impresionante fue enterarme que se fue el mas grande y libre de nuestros artistas argentinos. Es sin duda mi ídolo preferido y del que todos podemos sentirnos orgullosos.

Tengo una anécdota que lo involucra,

En el '96 empece a trabajar por un corto periodo en Pragma FCB y fue ahi donde realmente descubrí todos sus discos gracias a Omar y a Esteban que me iban pasando cds que yo me grababa en cassettes, y luego ya los reemplace por mis cds, su música no solo me voló la cabeza sino que me abrió e inspiro a escribir mis propias canciones en castellano (y alejado del funk y soul de mis primeras grabaciones), después llegarían otras influencias.

Al poco tiempo de dejar la agencia me fui a estudiar a NYC unos meses y la banda musical de ese viaje fue Invisible y Pescado Rabioso, recuerdo ir de noche en el metro de NYC a practicar piano escuchando "Las Golondrinas de Plaza de Mayo", un trip individual y un poco como fuera de contexto que me mantenía conectado con Buenos Aires y con las música en general.

Al volver a Buenos Aires, un tiempo después, empece a participar en algunas expos de pintura, nunca desarrolle mucho eso pero me apasionaba también, y en un momento hice una expo individual en el restaurante japones Haiku de Belgrano. Una noche me llama por teléfono Quique, el dueño, para decirme todo excitado que el Flaco estaba mirando y apreciando mis pinturas mientras comía su amado Sushi, y que le dijo que le gustaban mucho mis obras y que una de ellas tenia una "fuerza increíble", claro yo estaba en el cielo!!! Y Quique me ofrece comprarme esa pintura para el restaurante o su casa, al final arreglamos un canje por Sushi, y de algún modo indirecto y un poco gracias al Luis acabe yendo a comer sushi durante meses con amigos, mi familia y demás.

Otro dato que siempre me gusto (aunque no pude comprobarlo) es que era un fan de los ovnis y la ufologia, eso también me intereso mucho, y un día tuve un sueño de lo mas curioso.

Estaba en el balcón de la casa de mis padres y veia muchos ovnis en el cielo, que bajaban y al acercarse al balcón perdían la proporción de tamaño y resultaba que eran pequeños, como de unos 30 cm. El balcón se encontraba lleno de ovnis y alguien tocaba el timbre de mi casa, cuando iba a abrir la puerta era Luis Alberto! Y yo todo emocionado como si lo conociese le decía: "Hola Luis! Pasa pasa, queres tomar algo? o sino podemos ir al balcón que esta lleno de ovnis!"

En fin, gracias Flaco por la inspiración y el amor de tu música, seguirás sonando y sonando...

Sebas
