REVIEWS reviews...... sounds...... pictures...... words...... links...... info from Jean-Francois Fecteau, host of Le Vestibule on CFOU 89.1 FM University of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec As always, we can never expect what we will be hearing when we are exposed to a new eM album. The E.P. "Motor Sessions" is a very interesting release both musically and conceptually. The idea developped around the "symbol" of the motors is expressed in a very dense and somehow mechanized way. Men have always tried to conquer distances and space to somehow fill the void find inside. Instead of focusing on our spiritual side and explore our divine powers, we, through ages, tried to fit and resemble our physical environment, and we came to treat each other as machines, and objects, limiting ourselves in action, thoughts, and space. And speaking of space, the album "Mote" is for me an evokation of spaces through metaphysical atmospheres rendered by abstraction and subtility found in the structures, sonorities and melodies. "Mote" defines the space between the stare into awareness and the closure of the eyes beyond subconsciousness. There is a vastitude that emanates from the textured waves of sounds, and the flowing frequencies, we almost feel the vertigo as we find ourselves suspended above empty space, trying to reach the other side that lays ahead in a thick mist. At other times, we are submerged in an oceanic surrounding, floating through dreamscapes ambiences, reaching for the infinite in galactic wanderings... every inflection, every intonation, every reverberation, are carefully placed to trace the contour, to establish the mood, to graze the sensibility, to mark the pace, to settle a unique universe that we are invited to take possession and make it our own.
