Disharmony – Abyss (EP – Aliens Production)
Genre/Influences: IDM, Electro.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: “Abyss” is meant as an appetizer to the new Disharmony-album “Pendulum Swing”. ‘Ryby’ brings us three new songs from his next full length.
Content: “Pendulum” is somewhat different from the stuff we’re used to hearing from this Slovakian IDM-master. The track reveals EBM elements but especially the dark, haunting, atmosphere recovering the track is somewhat different while ghost-like vocals reinforce this feeling. Both other cuts are remixes from songs that will be featured as original edits on the next album. You’ll (re)discover the more familiar IDM -and instrumental, approach of Disharmony.
+ + + : This EP sounds like a great appetizer to the new full length. “Pendulum” isn’t totally innovating although revealing a less familiar side of Ryby. It’s still refined but also driven by bombastic percussions. Both cuts left bring us back to the sound intelligence of Disharmony; evasive, dark, a bit space-like and achieved with this unique subtle touch.
– – – : This work is just a teaser to the album so only for the die-hard fans.
Conclusion: Electronic music from a higher level!
Best songs: “Pendulum”, “Blood For Glory – Abyss Monolite Rmx”, “Empty Room With Demons – Abyss Atmo Rmx”.
Rate: 7½.
