Gui Boratto

'III' (album stream)

BY Philip James de VriesPublished Sep 2, 2011

As previously reported, Brazilian techno hero Gui Boratto is set to release his third album, entitled III, on September 13 via Kompakt. Boratto released the album tracks "The Drill"/"Stems From Hell" earlier this summer, but now you can hear the entire full-length.

Head here to MTV Iggy to listen to the album in its entirety.

On first listen, III sounds more on the heavy side when compared with Boratto's past albums. While the emotive melodic sensibility Boratto has become known for is still apparent, he seems to favour more mechanical sounds for his percussive accents and fatter lead synths for the meat of many of the tracks.

"Flying Practice" exhibits auditory emotion comparable to past tracks like "Beautiful Life" and "Take My Breath Away," while "Stems from Hell" and the successive "Striker" are both notably harder-edged.
