Zinkl & Alquimia: inch a musical marriage, made in cyberspace inch !What happens when an unconventional creator of sounds with his preferences for 1970s art rock and modern computer music meets a Mexican mystic, vocal artist and groove specialist? Zinkl, the quiet type, with a predilection for wonderously charming and delightfully unpredictable treasures, and Alquimia, the enigmatic sensualist certainly make for an unusual couple. But they say that opposites attract, and these two have deliberately sought each other out. inch Underwater inch , their first joint album, unites Alquimias feelings for exotic but catchy melodies and polished vocal artistry with Zinkls offbeat sounds and percussion sequences, complete with tricky 12tone harmonies. In an act of creation, the two musical nightbirds have turned their backs on all the trends and created a magical album; their apparently opposing aesthetic approaches have given rise to a dozen surprisingly homogenous songs which, at the same time, are jewels that sparkle from every one of their many facets. Informed listeners will recognize associations ranging from Kate Bush to Stravinsky and Endash, yet there is really no equivalent in the modern music world.
