Sonic Curiosity (U.S.A.) about "Jules Verne Forever" album!

This 2015 release features 78 minutes of steampunk electronic music. Mythos is Stephan Kaske (on laser harps, flute, mellotron, vocoder, sequencers and synthesizers). Rich electronics conspire with rhythms to evoke moods of daring exploits of adventurous scientific achievements-that occurred in the fiction of Jules Verne decades before they became reality. Pulsations establish separate threads that interweave to generate a lush tapestry of lilting melodics. Each thread is embodied with its own unique resonance: some are airy and expansive, others twinkle with nimble-fingered keys. While many pursue an emotional intensity, communicating the state of awe felt by those who first witnessed the accomplishments of Captain Nemo and Phileas Fogg. Keyboards guide an amount of the electronics to craft sinuous riffs of glistening beauty. But other, peripheral effects contribute to the vibrant pastiche, seasoning the flow with their eccentric presence. The combined effect is often dreamy despite the spry nature of the elements involved in creating the gestalt. Rhythms play a vital role here. Sometimes these tempos are produced by semi-conventional percussives (meaning e-drums), and other times non-impact electronics serves as beats. Either way, the rhythms provide a sultry locomotion to those songs. These compositions flourish in a steampunk fashion (for isn't Verne the grandfather of that genre?-again long before it was recognized as such). And yet, this tuneage captures that feeling with only a subtle use of hissing steam and grinding gears and clunking pistons. The tunes serve as an excellent soundtrack to the early days of science, when scientists were more than just bespectacled nerds, an era of the scientific adventurer, dashing and reckless and facing the unknown with valiant determination. If any of that piques your interest, then the spirit of exploration is not dormant in you-and this music with enthrall you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and a BRANDNEW "Evolution" REVIEW from the USA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR and a BRANDNEW "Evolution" REVIEW from the USA! Spacey electronics and compulsive rhythms generate tuneage of an astral nature. This album offers 78 minutes of animated electronic music. The electronics are versatile and spry, delivering engaging riffs with a whimsical dedication. Often a squeaky edge marks the sounds, lending a quirky flavor to the chords. At other times, the noises bubble with a celestial fervor. Many of the electronics are keyboard-driven, producing lilting riffs of an animated character. These melodies abound with cosmic airs, many of which are infused with a bouncy attitude as the chords chug along with congenial enthusiasm. Many of the notes sparkle with a lovely luster. The rhythms are often synthetic, sneakily injecting beats into the mix with a casual aplomb. A wide range of inventive sounds are utilized in these agile tempos, providing an ample degree of locomotion. Synthesized strings lend one tune a classic undercurrent. With their hyperactive dynamics, these compositions possess an energetic demeanor. This sprightly attitude is frequently balanced by spacey passages that carry the listener to interplanetary vistas, where the invigorating temperament resumes with alluring abandon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwTOzf5cQZw
