Genre/Influences: Electro-Pop, Cinematic, Ambient.

Format: Digital.

Background/Info: Albert Roda remains a prolific artist who has released an impressive number of records under the Lifelong Corporation moniker. This new opus features nineteen songs.

Content: The album takes off with an intro and rapidly moves on unleashing the familiar Ambient sound of the project. It sounds pretty retro-like because of the space effects. But then Roda walks on Electro-Pop paths and even touches ground with Italo-Disco while adding vocals on top. Most of the songs are into Cinematic/Ambient on one side and Electro-Pop on the other. You’ll also notice multiple, short, ‘interludes’.

+ + + : I definitely enjoy the Electro-Pop approach of the album and especially “Supersonic Train” which features a great Italo-Disco touch plus “This Life” which might appeal for Alphaville fans. Diversity is the key to this album.

– – – : I don’t see the bonus of the multiple so-called “Interlude”-cuts while there also is a kind of intro and outro. I think it would be also interesting to hear an album totally devoted to ‘Pop’-music as this artist really has a nose for it.

Conclusion: A diversified piece of electronic music revealing a cool Electro-Retro-Pop side.

Best songs: “Supersonic Train”, “This Life”, “Silence And Shadows”, “Believe Or Not”, “No Future”.

Rate: 7½.

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.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
