Pastora - Music Minus Film (Independent) Pastora is one man: Derek Buckner. He writes, produces and performs everything on Music Minus Film, a mixed-marriage of electronica and analog instruments. The result, thanks mainly to Buckner’s melodic skills, is a satisfying collection, which brings to mind Barry Adamson’s jazzy imagined scores of the past decade, the mid-80s indie electro-pop of Matt Johnson, early Eno and Berlin based Bowie. The occasional songs are quite possibly of earth shattering importance, but there’s just enough juice running through them to strip any real meaning away. This is quite possibly a very good thing, and we’re largely left impressed with the Low-isms of “Looking For Another” or “Peach Magnet”, instead of fretting over any lyrical faux pas that might shatter the illusion. Our only real concern is that there’s not enough of it, with its running time of less than 25 minutes. Find the MySpace page here: www.myspace.com/pastoramusic Rob F. Next
