Genre/Influences:
Electro-pop,
space-pop electro.
Format:
Digital,
CD, vinyl (2xLP).
Background/Info:
This album is the
meeting between
Dimitry Nelepin (music) and Luca Bestetti aka ‘LBM’ (vocals) plus Inessa
Shavrovskaya (helping a hand in working with analogue synthesizers and the
second vocoder sampler). The album is a kind of conceptual sci-fi album about
the spaceship ‘Akruse’.
Content:
“Universe
One” is a particular experience in electro-pop music as it moves much wider
than the classic standards. The music is pretty retro-like, which is
accentuated by the use of analogue sounds and robotic/vocoder effects on the
vocals, but there also is an explicit psychedelic touch. The merge between
electronics and guitar sounds creates something really old-school. But it even
goes further than this as some cuts make me think to Krafwterk on a disco trip.

This album might be one of the most original ones I’ve ever heard on
ScentAir Records. The sound is truly a
challenge, but I was rapidly convinced. There’s a perfect twist between vintage
electronics (from pop to disco) and psychedelic passages. The robotic effect on
top of the vocals reinforces the retro-atmosphere while the link with the
concept is easy to make.
– – – :
My only regret in the
production is the use of fade-outs. I know it was commonly used during the
early years of pop music, but it sounds outdated for the 21st
Century.
Conclusion:
If you want to
discover a real surprising electro-pop release, I can only, but highly
recommend Rockets LBM Project.
Best Songs:
“Voyage”, “Star Command”, “The Mirror”,
“Star Gate”.
