This is a split CD with the Russian band, Vespero and the
German band Zone Six. Vespero starts the CD off with three lush progressive
instrumental spacey tracks. Nüllis starts things off and is a keyboard driven
track with some intense drumming in the background of these spacey new age
keyboards and a solid bass line. In the last two minutes the track really picks
up and the keyboard switches to an organ sound and a cool guitar line kicks in.
Intense. Clouds is another track with really spacey synthesizers and an uptempo
as well. Lots of layers of spacey stuff going on including some flute. The
guitar section is really nice and melodic and also spaced. Lifeless Pilars
slows the pace down a lot but the synthesizer still leads the way into the
space to start and later features some great guitar. Cool stuff from Vespero.
The Zone Six track is 24min long and quite a bit more spacey and heavy stuff,
without the lush new age spacey synths, more focused on far out sounds and
funny voices and just being intense. It sounds a lot like the current Electric
Moon but with some more space sounds and and not much like older Zone Six. A
great track from a very spacey CD….
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
