Content:
I didn’t know what
to expect from this trio, but I probably expected something different because
of Jens’ from Chainreactor involvement. Fractal Age is not a new sonic ogre,
but sounds more inspired by electro-pop formats. It’s a kind of power-pop
composition featuring wafting, melodic leads, hopping rhythms and a flavor of
melancholia. The title song has been remixes by Chainreactor.
+ + + :
If “Modern World”
has something pretty electro-pop like it clearly appears to be a unique format
revealing songs supported with a dark and melancholic sphere. The work is
powerful, but remains melodic through the use of classical leads. “Apart” is a
brilliant song resulting in a truly climax thanks to a great melody line. I
also have to mention “Glimpses Of Reliance”, which is another major song.
– – – :
Fractal Age has
accomplished a noticeable debut, but maybe has to inject a little bit more
diversity in its future compositions.
Conclusion:
I can’t say this
album is an absolute must have, but it’s a cool and excellent debut. So I’m
really looking forward to see how this new project will evolve.
Best songs:
“Apart”, “Glimpses
Of Reliance”, “The Credits Of My Life”, “Red”, “Someday”.
