Terapia Records present the first release of its catalog, a stunning LP by the two founders Luca and Michele (aka Complementary Minds) called Butch Haynes Introduces Complementary Minds Vol. 1. The newborn label launches its ambitious, yet very much considered project, after the debut of one of the two head-honchos Luca Ferrara aka Butch Haynes on Apparel Music and Sistrum Recordings. He metaphorically introduces the first LP by the Milan born and bred duo, who share a deep love for music and a great productive connection. They deliver a brilliant eleven-track album, full of diversified sonic influences and quite representative of their bright talent. The record, which will be presented to you both on vinyl and digital, starts with a couple of masterly produced beats ("Fantastic", "Teacher Carey"), both with an analogous mellow, warm energy, some brilliantly crafted bass-lines and a substantial harmonic presence. The album keeps rolling with the deep feeling of "Flower Diva": its soulful, skillfully arranged vocals and the dreamy synthetic chords help the pair to perpetuate this passionate, balmy vibe. "Insomnia" ends the first quartet of sexy tunes with some seductive improvised spacey key stabs and its delicate pensive chords while "Q Orchestra (The Lost Tape Mix)" speeds up the heartbeat and leads to the closing track of the A side, "Bebi": a gorgeous groovy interlude. B side kicks off in style with the slightly darker feel of "Myers Boogie Man" where the pitched sampled vocals, the solid rhythm section, a profound array of sonic details and a marvelous warm synth melody towards the end of the track make it a true ghetto hit! "Right On", with its broken-beat and a radiant harmonic progression, "Contact 911" with its tight kick-snare connection and some far-out, whimsical chord evolution and "G Buster" with its irresistible slightly acid driving force, pave the way for the grand finale where "Maam", a proper club banger, ends this amazing LP in epic fashion. Butch Haynes Introduces Complementary Minds Vol. 1 is such a cohesive, yet incredibly diversified album and their authors, Luca Ferrara and Michele Fallabrino, achieve the challenging task of telling their sonic story with a flawless work. What a way to start Terapia Records' experience.
