This album is a return to Sebastian Gramond's progressive rock roots, generally ditching the synthesizer for an organ in most places. It sounds like early Emerson, Lake and Palmer, only more frantic and unpredictable.
This is the most pop sounding release from Sebastian Gramond yet, though the madcap experimental nature of his particular flavour of rock is still present. Unlike his previous albums, 84 has more songs than instrumentals which is a first for this eccentric performer. For me these changes result in my favourite album of his so far.
This is professional and diverse sounding electronica which is mostly very enjoyable listening. Some of the tracks lack a certain 'wow' factor, though.
Mix together guitar, organ, drums and the occasional synthesizer, not forgetting talent and the 1970s, and this is what you get: mind-destroying progressive rock. The mix seems a little muddy, but the performances are perfect.
Despite it's unconventional musical nature this album is surprisingly listenable. For me the best part is the creative synthesis and I just want to hear more (I've started to download his other albums). This is drum and bass with a mind, though I'm not sure about the body.
Nehoryn embodies modern industrial electro and overall UNREAL is a refreshing, genre-less, listening experience. The excitement and awe I feel listening to tracks 3-5 is a rare feeling. Tracks 1 and 2 sound limited frequency-wise and a bit washy, but the sound improves very quickly.
More recent Sebastian Gramond albums see him exploring new musical pastures and from the first moment you can tell this one is no different. One of his trademarks is constant change in a progressive fashion and the tracks seem to regularly to leave everything behind to follow new styles. Does that ruin any hope of progression? Not entirely, somehow it all glues together. On a final note the recording and production quality is spotless.
'Don't forget it all' is a collection of jazzy, funky instrumentals. By combining natural and electronic instruments Dj H.Seres has created a sound that's fresh and captivating.
Trans New Wave is apparently somewhat formulaic modern electro. I enjoyed this ADC Level album more than those that came before it.
Interesting mixing of growl and singing. From the production it sounds like this song is both light and heavy at the same time.. probably not intentional.
