With its subtle evocations of light and color and meticulous editing, \u003cem\u003eRomance\u003c\/em\u003e suggests an almost cinematic scale. The strings and grainy synthesizer of \"Crying Game\" lend an air of giallo dread to the deep sub-bass rumbles; \"Afters Lisboa\" processes cymbal crashes through a Leslie speaker to create a siren-like Doppler effect; \"Fallen Angels,\" one of the few tracks to feature \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorviaduct.com\/collections\/gabriel-ferrandini\"\u003eFerrandini\u003c\/a\u003e's mostly untreated percussion work, stacks layers of reverb effects of varying lengths (an old Autechre trick) to add friction and give the spatialized sounds a dissociative quality.
