SOME PRESS QUOTES
Instrumental sound exploration through a variety of genres is the method here and like its companion piece the ‘mega synthesists’ at the helm of the controls keep things moving in a fluid fashion as they progress through a variety of moods and motions.
…you should find yourself completely immersed and if listening to this on headphones will get the full effect of the wonderful shapes and sounds contained within.
This is mood music that works equally well in the background as a soundtrack to other things or loudly shutting out everything else and giving it your sole attention.
The composers are fertile minds…. …has taken his label Cineploit and music into strange but very welcome new dimensions
Pete Woods / Ave Noctum UK
early 2000s slick sci-fi action movies ala The Matrix. There is a funkiness present that starts the album in a cool fashion.
…it’s not a million miles removed from the kind of sounds that could be found on Michael Mann’s Manhunter.
… pure sonic heaven.
The album is lengthy at sixteen tracks, yet my attention never wavered as I was too busy marvelling at the breadth and diversity of the music offered on Instrumentalisation, which serves as an essential companion piece to Manipulation.
Terrifyingly effective.
…forbidding like a Lovecraftian nightmare, an unseen threat which always lingers.
…creepy atmospherics and a futuristic dystopian theme
…ever losing that omnipresent oppressive feeling.
….grandiose piece which is epic in scope.
a superb soundtrack to the apocalypse.
Reza Mills / The sleeping Shaman UK
Deep black, technoid ruthlessness with attention to slick percussion oscillating between hell disco and sex magick drags the listener into a seething monster belly that is hard to fight your way out of – if that’s what you want.
A hard, not metalkitschy, no, really hard record. Compliments.
Christian Ladewig / Virus Magazin Germany
…responsible for some of the darkest, doom-laden music out there.
The outcome – an outlandish pseudo 70s version of synth-metal, the Lynchian spirit of Nine Inch Nails.
Dark synth music can push the dystopian boundaries, but MANIPULATION is just pure Horror. Relentless and utterly brilliant.
