The rules of droning...Italians Maurizio Bianchi and Emanuela De Angelis have a generation between them, but that does not prevent them from delivering their first collaboration entitled "Regolelettroniche". However, to get there, they had to agree on a few rules, alluded to in titles such as "Earthly Principle" and "Cosmic Norms", and through these "rulelectronics" credited to both of them. That being said, these rules are left unexplained; listeners can discover them on their own when they experience this drone-based music: soft, quiet, seemingly reiterative yet clearly transformative.

Strong foundations imbuing all the pieces with a definite substructure of order that pins them down precisely and gives them enormous strength.
Heathen Harvest, April 2008
Car au vu de ces parcours sinueux et pourtant irréprochables, on accepte volontiers d'aller scruter, au-delà des systèmes, ces instrumentaux logés entre songe et sonore.
Magic, March 2008
Evidemment proches d'un Fennesz, mais également des travaux les plus méditatifs de William Basinski, leur oeuvre commune s'avère constamment passionante.
D-Side, March 2008
Du grand art.
Musiques & Cultures Digitales, March 2008
Une approche radicale qui n'aurait pas déplu à un certain Luigi Russolo.
Pop News, March 2008
An immensely satisfying listen, its looped, gaseous emissions subtly and incrementally transporting the listener to better places.
The Wire, March 2008
A highly evocative piece of work.
Gaz-Eta, March 2008
Un gioco di riverberi sottomarini e suoni vibranti, a tratti più impetuosi ed in altri furbamente docili, che si sviluppano in tortuose composizioni.
Rockerilla, March 2008
Archétype même de l'album ambient réussi, Regolelettroniche prouve une nouvelle fois que le jeune label Baskaru sélectionne avec soin ses sorties.
EtherReal, February 2008
De Angelis and Bianchi play with the kind of sonics that displace normal notions of time, progression and order, replacing them with something simpler, truer even.
Hair Entertainment, February 2008
Bianchi and De Angelis create in "Regolelettroniche" an opportunity to transcend the genre and at least suggest a larger context.
Foxy Digitalis, January 2008
This is a pretty strong collaborative disc, of highly unsettling ambient drone music.
Vital Weekly, January 2008
Frankly, this is brilliant and is without doubt my favourite release on Baskaru thus far.
Smallfish Records, January 2008
