Approaching the oxygenated French, in its more Schulzian beginnings. This synth-replicant is now more Roy Batty than Nexus 6. Mysticism is essential to this, and in "In the Name of the Father" (5'33) we have an example of cosmic introspection at the highest level. Per Thomhav is well acquainted with this mambo, and reproduces it with optimum skill. Extraordinary sound vignette with analogue sandwiches and progressive formwork of the first order. Background mellotron, traditional Berlin sequencer, and even electric guitar solos, (which I'd bet is a synth!), Emulating Edgar Froese's sunny psychedelics. We go back a few years in the career of the Sleepy Tangerine, and "Babushka Dream" (9'06) contains more 70s essences. A very original cut with rhythm as the base. Difficult virtue that not everyone achieves with the required quality. A strong suit for Synth Replicants, any organic-looking rhythm approach. Again the "percussions" have been reliably picked up by their electronics. That seems to be the sound strategy for this album.īecause "Closer to the Sun" (7'20) could be part of "Exit" or "White Eagle" without much effort. Modern sequencing, with a real drums simulation even very well achieved, uncomplicated melodies, ethereal textures under a pseudo-digital cloak that photographs that stage to perfection. "Trip Back Los Santos" (5'57) could be located in the TD time frame that goes from "Tangram" (1980), to "Hyperborea" (1983).
