Synth Single Review: “Believe In Me” by Nightflyer

by Karl Magi

Nightflyer's “Believe In Me” slowly trembles with a repeating, xylophone-like throbbing that grows in intensity as the billowing background rises in soft cumulus waves while a brushing sound forms the intensifying rhythm.

Solid, broad-spectrum drums keep up their even heartbeat while twinkling tones are joined by a sweeping synth transmitting a melody brimming over with hope, reaching out with a comforting touch. Percussion rebounds while panpipes conjure up a weightless feeling, as though one was drifting on air currents that lofted one high above the ordinary world.

The percussion drops out as sailing notes exhale and flow over me with uplifting openness, the main theme is as light and velvety smooth as a morning cloud. my heart opens to new perspectives and wide-open vistas as the concerns plaguing me fall away.. The impression of flight is palpable and full of release as the panpipes paint iridescence across the music and the track ends.
