While Triana's second album "Musica Electronica", isn't necessarily bad, musically
speaking, it certainly isn't anything new or innovative. In fact some of the
sounds used on this album are identical to those on my grandmother's electronic
organ that I used to play around with as a kid. Personally, I don't understand
the need to loop the same sounds over and over again for five minutes when it
could be done for two and the song wouldn't sound any different. Triana is very
guilty of this simplistic repetition that, at face value is boring and
ultimately leads to musical stagnance and regression. All of the material
present on this album are in the form of instrumentals, which could really
stand to have some type of vocal work over them. Unfortunately the entire album
rehashes musical concepts and elements that have been constantly reworked for
decades, and as such, sounds very dated. My suggestion to the artist is to
expand his selection of equipment and studio so that he might be able to expand
his sound library and digital production and that he work on layering his music
instead of relaying on only four to eight tracks of the same instruments.
