Instead of continuing to look for negligible, minimal sound differences—at least negligible on most of the audio systems around—I'd rather lose myself in the large virtual rooms quietly celebrated by Carlo Crameri on twelve-string guitar and voice, Arild Andersen on bass, Marc Halbheer on drums, and Paolo Vinaccia on percussion. This music eludes any stereotyped thinking and leaves the listener wallowing in sonic than rather than melodic spheres. Nevertheless, I don't perceive them in a cumbersome way. That's rather the name of the quartet: Plastic Art Foundation. However, when listening to the CD or the music files, the title of the CD, Andorra - Part Two, isn't self-explanatory either. Nevertheless, I wasn't intrigued in the same way by any other album for the last few months like I have been by this one, which, I must say, remained in secrecy for quite a long time. This type of music is only able to create such a tremendous fascination when a system is playing at an extremely high level. All of them, the Melco, the Aries and the DAVE, certainly do. And the Cardas Clear equals them in every aspect: Speed, image definition, spatial illusion, bass energy, and playback dynamics, all of which leave nothing to be desired.
