The first four minutes of this album suggest a terrific recording in the making. "Beside" provides a lovely opening, the gentle pulsing melody slowly building to create something quite special. Sadly it isn't indicative of the rest of the album. On the following tracks Brokenkites opts for higher tempo instrumentals that fall somewhere between synth pop and IDM. There is nothing particularly wrong with this approach but all the while I sat and wondered how much more interesting this music might be if he slowed things down a little and allowed the compositions more room to breathe. You have to wait until Track 12 before he employs this kind of approach, albeit only briefly. Yet the album ends on another high with the shimmering chiptune-esque "Unlimited Life". So there is enough material on here to persuade me to investigate Brokenkites' output further but chances are I'll be looking for something a little more expansive next time. A promising album nonetheless.

Respeckt, experimentell with complex sounds, it´s not easy !

Un album bien différent des autres. L'originalité est bien là, mais il reste difficile d'accrocher à toutes les musiques. Certaines musiques font très old school mélangé a de l'electro plus moderne.

I don't like it that you don't allow me to remix your stuff (CC-ND) But whatever, the sounds itself are great.

un son a part unique, de l'electro trituré ,planante toujours très mélodique .Encore un album de très grande qualité... Merci pour le partage

First time I've run across your records. I'm really diggin' this one: it has a distinctly gritty sound to it that carries through the album. A bit like Dark City meets Nintendo. You've gained another fan.

Dear sir. You hereby become my favorite artist on Jamendo, and perhaps my favorite indie artist, period. Beside totally blew my mind by its LOST-like drama mood. Stratagem is powerful and catchy. Unlimited Life is the perfect power ending. THANK YOU.
