Cygnosic – The Key[s] (Digital EP – Digital World Audio)
Genre/Influences: EBM, dark-body music.
Background/Info: One-man project Cygnosic can look back at a considerable discography featuring a few noticeable albums. Georg Psaroudakis released his last album “CygnosiC” in 2014. This is the 2nd EP taken from the album.
Content: The fans of the band will immediately recognize the solid debut song, which is the ‘album’ version. The “White”-version is another familiar cut totally transposed and empowered by guitar riffs.
We get 2 new versions consisting of a more pop-minded “Grey”-version and a remix by Rotersand. This is a great piece of progressive body-music featuring intelligent sound treatments and great danceable vibes.
+ + + : The original song “The Key” (cf. “Black”-version) is a cool dark-EBM driven cut carried by harsh vocals. The Rotersand-version is a real smasher for the typical raw sound treatments. This song will set dancefloors on fire.
– – – : Except the brilliant Rotersand-remix, this EP doesn’t really bring that new.
Conclusion: This EP appears to be food for the biggest fans of Cygnosic although the magic of Rotersand will maybe catch a wider audience. This is one good reason to purchase this release.
Best songs: “The Key – Rotersand”, “The Key – Black”.
Rate: (7).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
