In this post I would
like to present an album of a very talented man - Menton J. Matthews III,
better known as Saltillo. Apart from being a music producer, he is an
illustrator, comic book artist and plays such instruments as: cello, viola,
violin, guitar, drums, piano, bass. “Ganglion”, his first album, was released
in 2006. What’s so special about it?
Well, it’s a mix
of heavy electronic beats, classical instruments, and cool vocal samples that meets perfectly, creating great music. The
album starts with “A Necessary End” which is my favorite track. Nice piano
chords, delicate female voice and quotes from Julius Caesar create such an unique atmosphere that
it really makes you think about “the end”. The second track “Giving In” is as
good as the first, but it creates less heavy feeling thanks to the vocals.
All tracks are really, really great and I recommend listening to them in a row. Maybe it’s not the most cheerful album you will ever hear, but it will evoke some important (at least for me) emotions.
