Anatoly Grinberg & Andreas Davids – Inspired By A Tragedy (Album – Digital/Vinyl – Ant-Zen)
Anatoly Grinberg and Andreas Davids (Xotox) are both talented artists known for their collaborative spirit. They have already worked together and joined forces again on a captivating concept centered around an imagined plane crash, exploring the struggles of the survivors. This concept unfolds into a mesmerizing musical journey, blending Industrial soundscapes with a diverse array of textures and noises. The composition features deep, resonant bass lines and slow, immersive rhythms, creating an intricate and thought-provoking Industrial soundtrack. I highly recommend experiencing this unique work.

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.
