I’ve
experienced Derek Rogers on cassette twice now, so it should come as no
surprise that this is available as a compact disc and the start of it comes out
like a record player stuck on a loop in the back of some synth tones. This
cycle is of course broken by triumphant ambient sounds, which leads into chimes
of some kind.
After
some nice stadium synth we get back to the ambience and with that comes a
little bit of that Stabbing Westward synth vibe. There are harmonies, and they’re like a
harmonica yet somehow are not. By the
sixth track we open up with a boom and the Mad Max-like devastation
begins. Though are quieter background
mechanics, and despite my earlier claim of this having that record player sound
I still want to experience this on cassette.
As
we reach “Input Pulse”, we get into a minimal quietness, with just small beeps,
like they’re coming from one of those life machines they put next to a hospital
bed. Though the last song brings out an almost 8bit
of Masters of the Universe keyboard sound, this still manages to be both relaxing
and minimal throughout, which just makes it that much more excellent.
