What is this? I didn't know there was any decent Sonic music post Saturn. I'm trying to put my finger on the odd sound of this. Reading Chz's post, I guess it comes down to the 7/4 beat, which I have no understanding of whatsoever. I even searched youtube for a video demonstrating just what 7/4 means, but only found some tutorial by a Jake Busey looking guy, except nerdy, and with smaller teeth. The only thing all this illustrated was my propensity to be distracted. Oh right, the track. I like the old school sounding melody they snuck in amongst all the weird, but I wish they'd done more with it. [1]
Khumbu Ice Falls
I'm torn. There were parts that were really good. Yeah I'm talking about that dainty, lifting melody that surfaces twice, briefly. It's fine that it's so shy to show itself, tantalising us in that way. But the rest of the track needs to be a lot more interesting if it's to string me along waiting for it to peak again. It's not. It's just plain and dumb techno. I also hoped more from those airy vocals at the beginning. But no. Nothing. This track promised more than it delivered, but what I like, I like enough to give 2 points. [2]
VISIONNERZ
VISIONNERZ is like something from a different, alien culture. And I'm not talking about Japan. The whole song is the telling of a story we can't possibly understand, because the medium is Futuristic Alien Space Opera. We may not understand, but we can feel it's speaking to us, sharing this culture's hidden history by the changing of mood to mood. Now calm, now frenzy. Each the portrayal of some different event along a timeline. And the entire, grand scale of everything, is that we're always hurtling to a massive cataclysm of some sort, whatever attempts the narrator makes at delay ultimately, inevitably, proving futile. This isn't mere music. It's drama. [1,000,000]
Jam it back in, in the dark.
