About this album

This is the music from the future as made in the past, but made today! Partly an hommage, partly an ironic look at the clichés of melodic instrumental electronica of the 1970s and 1980s.

This album might appeal to the fans of Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Röyksopp or the more melodic pieces by Tangerine Dream. It isn't trying to copy them – they just speak similar language.

 

Tungsten tries to be varied in feeling, full of tunes, rich in sound, ever changing and yet compact and homogeneous.

Electronic music is one of my most favorites through all my life. But unfortunately this style was never popular here in Czech Republic. Nobody here ever created an album which I would call Jarre-like or Tangerine Dream-like. Maybe with exception of several cross-style experiments, which stand half way in synthesizers. We had to wait until now. Electronic Flash Unit has exactly that easy electronic sound which was missing here all the years. It may be that I like it more because it's Czech, but I like it very much. The whole album sounds very pleasant and nicely fits together. It reminds me of works of several electronic music followers. Sometimes it's playful like Jarre. Sometimes it goes to sequences like Polaris or Canovas. Sometimes it's melodic like Peter Baumann. My favorite passage is the sequential 130W together with the following romantic 15W. When I count another highlights - the closing 60W and 150W, I got half the album of my favorites. This project sounds very promising and I'm looking forward for what it creates next.

Quite catchy and inspiring although some melodies could have more clear (and loud) bass line. Also my subjective feeling is that drum line in general is too gentle and too quiet. I like jarre- like FXs. There could be heard a lot of work put into songs. I thought there were some errors in first song but after few plays I see I was mistaken.. Worth to mention: every track is different… I liked the most 130W.
