Dragon – Between Here And Nowhere (Album – Adventurous Music)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Ambient, Cinematic, Soundscape.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: London based Peter Adjobia is active under the Dragon moniker and also released stuff together with Paul Jetten as Dragon & Jettenbach. This work features six cuts which have been released by Adventurous Music.
Content: The work is the perfect symbiosis between different but related music styles like Dark-Ambient, Cinematic, Soundscape and Experimental music. Dark, linear, soundwaves mixed with different kinds of noises create a visual appeal to the listener.
+ + + : The work is slowly moving until its highlight at the fourth track “IO”. This piece features low sound treatments but especially the heavy, blasting, sounds are getting you in a state of emergency. This track in particular but still the entire work has a strong visual appeal. I prefer the second part of the work revealing the most poignant passages.
– – – : The debut part is a bit monotonous; the tracks missing a little bit of variation.
Conclusion: “Dragon” is an easy listening piece of music which is missing a few peaks to speak about a true success.
Best songs: “IO”, “Mutual exclusion Object”.
Rate: 6.
