VERY nice!
Un capolavoro di elettronica, supportato da bellissime armonie...
I love the switch-ups and different harmonies and how they all fit together! Very impressive, especially for a 15-year-old - already better than a lot of the artists on Jamendo.
The tracks remind me of what I would hear in the game "Sonic Adventure" - that's not an insult, I happen to like the music in that game, it's just listening to especially that first track I felt like I was listening to the soundtrack.
Thanks for sharing!
If you are really 15 (and I believe you are), then you are very gifted! Very creative and listenable work. I will agree with another reviewer: this whole album reminds me of old Sega games, Sonic in particular of course. I really loved Starflex... and everything that came after it, lol!
You've got a bright future, methinks :)

Let me just start by saying I've been a fan of StatueOfDiveo since day one. I was lukewarm toward his first two albums, and then after that I was blown away.
This newest release, Doctor Plasma, stands as SoD's best album to date. It's catchy as hell, the instrumentation ranges from dense and loud to soft and quirky, the vocals are implemented very nicely, and the whole thing just has a professional feel. This album explores SoD's more musical side, shifting away from straight-up synthesizers and more towards simulated instruments (piano, strings, choir pads, oriental strings, sax, etc) fused with clean electronic sounds. There is a broad amount of experimentation going on here, for example the Jazzy Trip Hop and Choir sounds in Earthquake or the eccentric background vocals and focus on string-based loops in Comet.
As expected, this album is mastered very well, ensuring a clean and consistent sound whether played through headphones or car speakers.
The album starts off with a buildup to a bang in Starflex, jumping straight into SoD's classic Drum and Bass style. Asplode is another example of SoD's ability to create an organic feel that naturally shifts from one tone to the next, similar to most classical music. Meaning, probably my favorite track on the album, makes use of a chopped up violin and clean-sounding Drum and Bass. The tonal shifts in this track are excellent. The titular track, Doctor Plasma, is a unique, almost 16-bit foray into Trip Hop, a genre SoD does incredibly well. The sound is dense and loud, perfect for driving. Comet is, as previously stated, an eccentric piece that fuses Orchestral sounds with a host of synthesizers. Transitions explores SoD's Techno roots with a mature yet playful sound and a deep beat, evolving three-fourths in to a club-style Techno piece worthy of any DJ's arsenal. The Synth and the Compression is by far the catchiest song on the album. The lyrics, while few, remain in your head without becoming annoying. The change in the SoD frontman's voice as he matures is startling when this track is juxtaposed with, say, We Are Lost. Filter the Grain is also reminiscent of SoD's early songs in its loops and beats. Down combines a thick irregular beat with an ambient pad and a plucking synthesizer creating a visually stimulating piece. Earthquake takes a unique approach to Trip Hop with a split between a jazzy mood and a desperate-sounding choir and string plucking. The song's climax is thick and epic. Journey ends the album with a bang, starting with an oriental vibe backed by a surprisingly urban beat and a nice choir-sounding pad. This is one of SoD's more beautiful tracks, and it feels incredibly natural, just like Asplode. By the end, the listener is treated to a heavy bass and more of that great Trip Hop vibe, as all the instruments in the song return to play the listener out.
All in all, this is a great album, and SoD should be proud of himself. I highly reccomend this album to anybody even remotely vested in electronic music. My only complaint, a minor one, is that Doctor Plasma didn't explore more of the Dubstep genre. While Dubstep isn't exactly a favorite of mine, I am incredibly curious as to how SoD interprets this surprisingly dynamic genre of music.
No me ha gustado demasiado. Muy acelerado para mi gusto. Parece música de videojuego.
Really nice! some good tunes there :) keep up the good work!
