Alphaxone & Dronny Darko – Invisible World (Digital/CD Album – Cryo Chamber)
This marks the third collaboration between Mehdi Saleh (aka Alphaxone) and Oleg Puzan (aka Dronny Darko). The Iranian-Ukrainian duo explores a conceptual theme that imagines a captivating, surreal realm—nestled beneath the ocean yet suspended above a void beyond the water’s surface.
It’s a complex theme, rich with imaginative potential, and both artists succeed in transforming it into a dark, intricate Cinematic soundscape. This sonic universe feels shrouded in obscurity, crafted from icy textures and delicate, nuanced tones that resonate with a profound depth. The atmosphere remains subdued, as though guarding a hidden world from too many prying ears. As a listener, you gain the rare privilege of entering this mysterious domain. Crisp noises and carefully layered field recordings intertwine with buzzing soundwaves, merging seamlessly into a shadowy, floating composition.
You can sense the evolving creative chemistry between these two artists—once again, their collaboration surpasses their previous efforts, delivering a refined and immersive experience. (Rating:8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
