{"product_id":"francesco-tristano-surface-tension","title":"Francesco Tristano - Surface Tension","description":"2 LP Recorded in Barcelona, Detroit, Rome, Paris and Mauritius, Surface Tension can be broadly cleft in two halves; the good bits with Derrick May, and the bits with crap minimal house grooves. We’ll focus on the former, better parts, where May balances Tristano’s input with a healthy amount of funk in the nervy swang of The Mentor, or underlines the delicate chords of Infinite Rise with a super slinky ride, and with epic effect in the lush roll of In Da Minor. However, two tracks do cannily buck that trend. On Rocco’s Bounce, Tristano impresses with a nimble fusion of far-Eastern strings wrapped to a bumping Chicago house swerve, and Esoteric Thing catches the pair completely devoid of beats, just drifting along in a placid pastoral ambient scene and blowing sweets nothings at Ryuichi Sakamoto and Brian Eno.","brand":"TRANSMAT","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":53202408440135,"sku":"TRI-17343","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/4aceb59aabd30f3e4f28a7a85e6f177d.jpg?v=1769337058","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/francesco-tristano-surface-tension","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
