Emergence

Tua and Vasee recorded the album in mid-2009 and initially left it unreleased on their hard drive. After Tua had signed an artist contract with Chimperator Productions in July 2010 , the two musicians decided to use the recorded pieces as sketches and to revise them. In August 2010, Tua and Vasee Evigila finished in the HinterdemHorizont Media Studio in Reutlingen . The release of the album for December 3, 2010 was announced in mid-September.

concept

The album title Evigila is Latin and translated means wake up . According to Tua, Evigila stands for a city “ that was built out of fear and doubt. “The gloomy city has to be torn down and rebuilt so that it is possible to wake up. In addition, Evigila is also the source of inspiration for the musicians, which can be seen from the fact that the music of Tua and Vasee is characterized by melancholy.

criticism

The HHV magazine praised Evigila in a review as an album that deserves the name " work of art ". From the point of view of the editor Jan Wehn, Tua and Vasee have constructed a city with twists and turns that can be found in the head of the listener. The production of the pieces ranges between “ Eastern Bloc folklore and swirling electro-electronics. “Nevertheless, it is noted in the criticism that Evigila is not“ rap music in the classical sense ”, so that a fundamental openness is required from the listener. If this willingness is given, the album is exciting to listen to due to its “ well-considered and carefully conceptualized details ”.

The hip-hop magazine Juice rated Evigila with four out of a possible six crowns and praised the cryptic songs like “Scenes of the Desert” or “Red Balloon”, which score with their strong visual language . In addition, the meticulously thought-out concept and the enormous attention to detail as well as the musical preferences for drum and bass , IDM and dubstep . However, the sometimes somewhat too flat texts were criticized. The idea behind “Evigila” could come across to the common rap listener in a somewhat pretentious and pseudo-avant-garde manner because of its complex metaphor, the divergent levels of interpretation and the dark sound.
