This recording perfectly reflects permanent convulsions of nowadays sounding expression and returning original technological principles (basic hardware devices, guitars, lo-fi sound generating effects, drums etc.). Solid 80s new wave, synth pop, post-punk, industrial, ambient and experimental music styles and motives are clearly expressed, but in a more brilliant way of quality and perfection of construction. The basis of the mixtape stands on the cathedral ambiance, the sound of distorted and sharp electric guitars, drowned rhythmical layers and mesmerizing dirty vocals. Mixture of perceptible depressive emotions merged with nostalgic, frenetic and bewildered moods generates a feeling of fictional retro action-drama movie soundtrack flavored with horror motives. Occasionally emerging repetitive and touching melodies, unexpected eclectic records combinations strengthen recording with a kaleidoscopic diversity, natural recording process intention and the most important – constant listening excitement. This record definitely proves the polished musical philosophy, profound personality and flexibility of Camella Lobo.“Secret Thirteen Mix 042” is like a mysteriously moving Jack Tworkov’s abstract expressionistic painting “Related to Barrier” where the use of gestural brush strokes in flame-like color create an extradimensional space where good and evil collide thus revealing eternal rule of universe that observer will never know what is light, due to absence of darkness.
