![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | mizati - drei - mizati
we are going on a mountain hike, together with andreas groll a.k.a. mizati and the soundtrack is made of top-notch driving and intelligent electronica. which does not necessarily have to mean that he does not have his guitar in his rucksack as well. he is working skillfully with various elements of style and while putting them into new contexts he conjures his very own, eclectic style. "drei" is surprising and convincing, on first hearing and on tenth rehearing.
