Modern Landscape - CD FUJU123022
(FunkyJuice records) - 16 June 2008

"Modern Landscape" is the up-to-date Transistors experiment, searching an original charming sound, re-drawing the roots of space age pop. The Transistors paint Musical Architectures built up through rapid environment's shifts, as it was for the Spyderotic Sound coined by themselves. The result is an artistic work: ludic, free and critical at the same time. Modern Landscape is a research in the electronic sound art, blending cinematica and exotica forms with a new electronic touch, where “moog sound” meets the aesthetics and the geography of bodies, heart and architectural design.
