Land

The land is a compelling electronic outfit from Rimini, Italy. Their sound is a kaleidoscopic mix of 80s post-punk influenced by the likes of Joy Division, Depeche Mode and David Bowie (Berlin trilogy era) with modern-day synth-laden electronica, see Underworld, Unkle, Massive Attack. The single ‘One More Time (ITL mix)' fuels these musical comparisons with its darkly ambient introduction progressing into a hedonistic soundscape. Whilst the beat is fast and unrelenting, the lyrics are delivered in a protracted, unassuming fashion, robotically wrapping themselves around the penetrating bass and synth combination. Dan Hudson Smith - EDM Rush.com …tracks inspired by state-of-the-art electronica in which electro, dub and techno blend with the melancholy mood reminiscent of 1980s new wave, a musical style much loved by the band. They are big fans of songs with rich and imaginative melodies that create a melting pot of analogue and digital sound sources so reminiscent of the excellent Underworld. Land demand to be heard because they can draw the listener so completely into their world so that you won’t want to leave. Il Mucchio Selvaggio – G. Polverari. …in it, there’s a wealth of references to the spirit of post-punk and the new multifaceted aspects of experimental technology. And not forgetting a voice that gives the songs of Land a magical quality and manages to evoke a world somewhere between Joy Division and a more contemporary urban beatscape. Music Club-F. Battisti
