Great mix of instrumental prog, jazz fusion, post-rock and soundtrack-like “mood music”. A very good wide range of sounds, tones and environments. Possibly the most mellow thing Neurot has put out but this is a sign of strength. (((((1)))))) Slow and long, dramatic build up, does a great job of setting mood with elongated, high-pitched violin and eventually acoustic guitar. (((((2)))))) Loose, 70’s jazz fusion influenced (think Mahavishnu Orchestra, electric-era Miles Davis), lots of stop/starts and “more complex than you think” time changes. Later on gets nice & dreamy. ((((3)))) “Ping! gong! Woooosh!” then feels like a modern ambient version of a Chet Baker tune. ((((4)))) More pinging & gonging, slow, slightly jazzy piano and drums, with clanging cymbals and random bits of female vocals. Generally chaotic & disjointed. (((((5)))) Strummy, post-rock with Middle Eastern vibe ((((((6))))) Slow, dark and creeping, piano and harmonium (?), and random mutterings of wicked beasts. Perfect horror movie soundtrack! The second half is mid-tempo, Fender Rhodes-based jazz-fusion & prog. --- Ragnar of Ravensfjord | ||
