Alessio Natalizia’s Not Waving moniker goes from strength to strength, even since ending his collaboration with Sam Willis in the highly regarded Walls project. Now focusing on the textured, modular workouts and cinematic synth journeys seen on the brilliant two previous albums Umwelt and Human Capabilities, he returns with his most ambitious outing yet. This double LP gathers together all the material Natalizia issued on the cassette series of the same name and is a must for those who like their electronics immersive to the max. From the retro futurism of “Witzelsucht” and “It Needs No Medication” to the brazen industrial attitude of “The Behaviourist Approach” and “Creating Capabilities” there are many moods of his musical identity that he explores here. But for most part its the beauty in the soulful mechanical soundscapes that he creates on this imaginary soundtrack, particularly on “Part of Thought”, “Dangerously Well” and “Negative Reinforcement”.
