DJ REVIEWS:
PEDRO INF
http://www.gothtronic.com/?page=23&reviews=4772

Pedro Inf makes IDM and electronica . Who Pedro Inf exactly is, remains somewhat of a mystery: there are a lot of names on the funnily artworked sleeve, but these are all people who seem to have helped Pedro Inf creating this release (for example the mastering and the artwork). Who Pedro Inf himself actually is, is still not clear to me.

On the myspace of Some Bizarre Records I get to read that Pedro Inf makes his music in reaction to the nowadays electronic music scene. And therefore chose to name his music 'sonar paintings'. As examples and influences Coil, Test Department and Richard D. James are named. Especially this last one – you may know him because he is Aphex Twin – I recognize in Pedro's music. And this is mainly recognizable when you think back to Aphex Twins Analords-series and the compilation "Chosen Lords" that accompanied this series. As with Aphex Twin also in Pedro Infs music the structure of the songs is sometimes hard to find, which makes the music harder to listen to. Personally I don't think this is a big minus: a somewhat abstract approach in the electronic music can get my positive attention most of the time, especially when the abstractness is being found in weird sounds and alienating rhythms, in stead of raging and painful noises. And luckily Pedro Inf creates the challenge with clear tones and a well produced sound.

There are no real hits or highlights on this album, but maybe this isn't really necessary in this case. Pedro Inf and his 'sonar paintings' know how to please just in the way his examples and influences knew and still know how to. A nice release by Some Bizarre Records.

Kinda techy with industrial, electro, chill out overtones. I Like. Thank u for sending
(Jerry Bouthier - Boom Box/Family/Kitsunã© Resi-Reviewer For M8/Update/Notion – UK)

Really like this. Has a nice old skool Chicago feel to it as well as sounding very now. Great!
(Neil Scott/Diablo - Nish Nash Nosh/Homoelectric/El Diablos Social Club – Manchester/Uk)

Solid release. Stand out for me is Deep Night which works on my floors. Good stuff.
favouritetrack: Deep Night
(TC Monckton - On @ Digital Newcastle, Wax:On @ Stylus Leeds, Arcane @ NUSU Newcastle)

Interesting. Some Bizarre is certainly an appropriate label for him.
It will take a while to fully get my head round this, but i like the palate of sounds.
favouritetrack: I Love Trees
(Fil OK – NagNagNag/333/Various – UK)

I like the old skool sound of the beats on this.
(Dan Hayes – Lock Tavern/Aitbf/Various – UK)

This has got some nice grooves and sounds in it. The first track "Deep Night" is probably my favorite up tempo track here, I like what sounds like a bit of a meltdown at the end of the track. But I think the second track "Crazy BBB" and the last track "Love Trees", are my favorite tracks. The Aphex type synth sounds work well on these tracks.
favouritetrack: I Love Trees
(Leaf Troup - The Social/The Amersham Arms/Various – London)

Interesting ideas. Nicely done.
(Anthony Vicious – Hotwerks/Various – London)


Nice production.
(Rob Smith – Smith & Mighty/Various – Worldwide)

I LOVE this! It would be good with a longer edit though. Feel VERY free to send me more...!
(Pjotr - Tête À Claques @ Berns/The Electric Gay Ballroom @ Kolingsborg/T @ Berns/Various – London/Stockholm/Various)

Abstract! Different and good. Not commercial at all and definitely an acquired taste but I like it. Any chance of a finished album, please!!!
Favourite track: CRAZY BBB
(Johnny Luv - Jamm/Various - London/Surrey)

Some yellow magic orchestra shit going on somewhere here. Mad world.
Favourite track: deep night
(Cuban Brothers – Phatlace/Fabric – London/Cardiff/Various/Worldwide)

Good stuff. Look forward to checking the rest of the album.
(Nico De Ceglia - The End/Radio 1/Various – London/Various)

Lurrrverly! Deep, without being noodly and the production is just the right side of raw. Nice one!
(Capoeira Twins - Tru Thoughts/Hope - Glasgow/London/Various/Worldwide)

Interesting, diverse stuff. Good to listen to. Not sure if Id play but would be totally rinsing Crazy BBB if it was 3 mins longer! too short! Get him to make a longer version!
Favourite track: Crazy BBB
(Ill Will - Adventures Close to Home – London/Various)

All the best [[ ]]
