Elías Egido is well-known in the world of spanish music for being Standstill's bass player since the late nineties to 2005. That gave him an important part of his musical baggage, at the same time his love for experimental music, jazz and electronics made an imprint on Standstill's music. After a while, and having moved to Madrid, Elías has put some order on his musical ideas and has assembled them with a brilliant result. His first album, under the name of Eh! is a prove of his tallent, quality and good taste, in the shape of ten instrumental pieces which taste like a movie score, as could have been written by Lalo Schifrin, Ennio Morricone, John Barry or Henry Mancini. Even though the strong weight of experimentation on his music, from John Zorn to Tortoise, it is the enveloping atmosphere what makes the music of Eh! a really gratifying sonic experience, committed and beautiful. Also, the past experience with the extreme hardcore band E-150, who toured worldwide in the late nineties, gives a unique personality to his compositions, something like "filmcore". The creative basis consists of Elias himself, who has composed, recorded and mixed the whole album, along with an experienced team of musicians: from Raul Perez (The Baltic Sea) helping in the recording at "La Mina" studios in Sevilla, to Karlos Osinaga (Lisabö) doing the mastering. Also Daniel Arrizabalaga (Same Old) on drums, Javier Díaz-Ena (Dead Capo, Aaron Thomas, Ainara Legardon) on theremin, calimba and other instruments, Ruben Martínez (Tokyo Sex Destruction, It's Not Not) on guitar, and Naiel Ibarrola on keyboards. As a player, Elias has performed bass guitar and contra bass as well as programming, besides musical direction. An excellent and exciting debut that brings us back one of the most influential musicians of Barcelona's (and now Madrid's) underground in the last years.
