A
Data Learn the Language is an eight-song, 50 minute ride
down the path of a band coming into their own. Bassist Sander Travisano
and drummer Dave Leblue lock in the rhythm while vibraphone/keyboardist
Whitney Travisano adds splashes of sonic colour over Tom Reno's looped
and cascading guitars. This record marks The Mercury Program's first venture
into the world of electronics as drums can be heard coupled with electronic
manipulations
to create layered, intricate head-bobbing beats. Written as an album,
it is clear that the listener is intended to listen to A Data
Learn the Language straight through, as there is a distinct progression
in both mood and intensity.
