Triode – Innocence (Digital/Cassette Album – Aliens Production)
Peter Ryby (of Disharmony and Aliens Production label) returns this year with an addendum to his latest Triode album, “NullVector”. This release features several remixes that revisit not only tracks from “NullVector” but also selections from Triode’s debut album, “Karma”. In addition, there are some rare new pieces that add further intrigue to the collection. The album showcases Triode’s intricate yet accessible IDM style, enriched through remixes by artists like EndTek, Morbid Fancy, Fractal, Headdreamer, Frontier Guards, and Tokee, alongside some unique alternative edits by Triode himself. This diversity brings a broad spectrum of sounds and influences, including Industrial, Experimental, Cinematic, and even Trance elements. A recurring thread throughout the album is the use of Gregorian chants, which add a compelling layer to the experience. Standout moments include the Headdreamer remix of “Vector Ritual” and the “Aura Edit” of “Utopia,” which, with its slower rhythm and pronounced IDM touches layered with enchanting Gregorian chants, builds to an impressive climax. This album is truly captivating. (Rating:8).
