Through X Scroll Era, Gabo Barranco, aka AAAA, conducts a rigorous overhaul of the aesthetics and statements of low-profile IDM, trance, and progressive-acid music typical of the early 2000s. In addition to this inherent and undeniable veneration for the era, the pieces on this album -- which originated from recordings and experimental exercises with gear and accidentally became an album -- serve also as a kind of retrospective inspection of Mexico City's suburbs (Lomas de Sotelo), with landscapes full of indiscriminate concrete, highways of two and three levels, factories, and parking lots that have supplanted nature with their own detached beauty. It is a sound memory, a specific melancholy that praises skate squads of the area, friends from the past, parties, and substances. It reviews the decline of rave culture but also its resilience and capacity for transformation. What AAAA offers with X Scroll Era is an almost multigenerational soundtrack, a memory that feels collective and recollects euphoria, ecstasy, and nostalgia. After several LPs and EPs and several years active in the dance and contemplative electronic music circuit, X Scroll Era is the first album by Gabo Barranco, aka AAAA, published on the Mexican label Umor Rex.
