This is
a project by Jeff Hopp. He wrote, recorded and performed all the tracks. The album features 7 spacey songs, with
programmed drums/percussion (if there is any) and lots of spacey synths and samples.
The opening track, Auto Pilot is a slow gliding song with minimal drums and a
really nice synth line. There are some samples here and there and occasionally
some strange sounds here and there. Dark Star is a longer track but also quite
slow with some nice layers of synths over the slow bass drone. There is some
really spacey stuff with some nice panning effects. Later a more organ like
synth takes the lead as some of the themes are repeated over and over again.
Unteathered EVA is like a one min track. Robosapien is a slightly faster pace
and the percussion slowly get faster as the track grows with two main synth
lines, a new age like one and a more freaky one. Every now and then a trippy
sound will fly through the soundscape. Side 2 starts with a track Acid Reign with
some really nice synth layers and is a bit more focused. A few new songs
appear. Absolute Zero is a darker track, could be in a sci fi movie as you
travel down a path unknown and not idea what might jump out… Probe Alpha One is a strange one and also you
feel like you are inside a robot of sorts…
This music is pretty cool but also for a pretty limited audience of
space heads… Check it out..
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..
