Nebulae Complex – Bryozoan Operator (EP – Nebulae Complex)
Genre/Influences: EBM.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: I never heard of this American solo-project before although Nebulae Complex has been active since 2007. “Bryozoan Operator” features five songs.
Content: This work brings us back to good-old EBM and has a very explicit 80s touch reminding Portion Control.
+ + + : I like this rudimentary approach of vintage EBM which is mainly coming through at “Airroot” and “Bleachburn” which both are songs with potential.
– – – : The work however suffers from a lack of achievement. It might be voluntary to recreate the early spirit of 80s EBM but it isn’t accomplished as a ‘new’ release.
Conclusion: Nebulae Complex is an interesting project which I think has more potential than what came out on this EP.
Best songs: “Airroot”, “Bleachburn”.
Rate: 6.
