PSYCHE - THE 11TH HOUR (METROPOLIS) |
| |
Psyche does something really interesting here by beginning the album with a fusion of cooled down grooves of ambient chillout (a la Amethystium or Delerium) and organic sounds like the piano and tempered gothtronica. After these first two tracks ("Bloodcurse" and "Yearning"), the pace ups the ante andstronger dance oriented beats kick in, laced with just a trace of goa, but tempered by the warmer, if still dark, flavors of shadowy synthpop on "Defenseless". From there it's a dynamo ride through pieces like "September Moon" and "Justice and Damnation." I love how the track titles' poetry go hand in hand with the musical poetry waiting to encompass your soul. The dynamics of this album are what make it stand out from a lot of the sounds-like-every-other-album flooding the electro-industrial marketplace. Metropolis Records is certainly getting this month off to a good start.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
