Onda
) | Label: Schema Catalog: SCCD481 Format: COMPACT DISC S-TONE INC TOCO & FRIENDSEight years have passed since the previous S-Tone Inc’s full length “Moon in Libra,” and, even if Stefano Tirone hasn’t released anything under his popular pseudonym as of late, the longtime collaboration and friendship with Tomas Di Cunto (Toco) has never expired. In fact, Tirone produced Toco’s “Memoria” in 2014, and since then has never stopped working with Toco, who is the co-author of 8 out of 10 tracks on this release. The sound of this new album is widely influenced by the Brazilian soul-funk sound of the late 1970s known as Black Rio. Despite its various influences, “Onda” does not sound as a mere copy of what’s already been done at all: S-Tone Inc. took all the necessary time to produce a new record, and the result is a strongly original and personal effort.
