Background/Info:
Angst 78 is a Polish project driven by Patryk
Gęgniewicz (aka ‘Revisq’) and Lukasz Szalankiewicz (aka ‘Zenial’). The songs featured
on this album were composed and recorded in between 2013 and 2019 and were
composed in different places and circumstances.
Content:
The
least I can say is that “78-Angst” is a very versatile piece of music. The
common element between all songs is the ambient inspiration, which has been
constructed with electronics. Numerous influences such as techno kicks, trance
loops and even a groovy remix have been merged with this ambient basis. The
music is always relaxing, but some tracks will bring you to dance. I also
noticed a few more experimental cuts.
The
album features 3 remixes by Fisherboyz, Ursus Sykot and Dawid Chrapla.

The eclectic format of this work allows the listener to always find
something to their taste. I prefer the minimal approach mixing ambient and
trance (cf. “Im Wald”) and the dubby experiment at the final song (cf. “At The
Gates”), which is a remix by Dawid Chrapla. Sound-wise I noticed cool, low
sound resonations running through several tracks. The kind of heartbeat kick at
“Waldenburg” is another interesting element.

There’re 3 tracks (cf. “Earth Reprise”, “Children Of The Corn” and
“They”) which are more into experimental electronics and, which can’t convince
me like the rest of the album.
Conclusion:
“78-Angst”
sometimes sounds like a compilation, but
behind the album’s diversity are hiding a few interesting ideas.
Best
songs: “Im Wald”, “At The Gates – Dawid Chrapla Remix”, “Platz Drei”, “Frost”.
