Background/Info:
This
is the debut album of a so-called enigmatic solo-artist, who achieved a
conceptual album as a kind of imaginary soundtrack ‘based around the end of the
world and a zombie takeover’. However it has been introduced as a solo-work,
some famous artists like Wayne Hussey (The Mission), Simon Hinkler (The
Mission), Julianne Reagan (All About Eve) ao contributed to this work.
Content:
The
dystopian and somewhat SI/FI theme of the work resulted in a deeply, cinematic
inspired work. From vintage electronic sounds to psychedelic guitar play, this
work sounds a bit like the offspring between Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd.
There are numerous, noticeable piano arrangements. While most of the songs are
instrumentals edits, you also will notice a few tracks with vocals and/or
chants.

The music has been conceived as a soundtrack and it clearly sounds that
way. I like the vintage electronics and multiple effects while the psychedelic
passages inject an exciting 60’/70’ touch. One of my favorite cuts is the extra
elaborated “Don’t Look Now”. This song is more melodic as well. The
contribution of all the guest musicians for sure is an extra attention grabber.

The album is easily enjoyable, but there’s no truly climax. It’s an
ambitious work, but without becoming a real soundtrack it might get lost in
anonymity.
Conclusion:
This
album will appeal for lovers of dark soundtrack music and psychedelic
experiences.
