Jessy Mach - Night Shifter

Review by Karl Magi

Overall Album Impressions

Jessy Mach’s Night Shifter is an intoxicating brew of retro synth energy, strong vocal performances and skilful guitar work. The whole album thrums with life and unfolds in an exuberant flash of emotion and layered synth sounds. It’s an entertaining and engaging listening experience.

There’s an ear-pleasing retro feeling that suffuses Night Shifter. Jessy Mach draws together ‘80s synth sounds to produce music that captures nostalgia and clear passion for that era. I enjoy the way that the modern production quality allows the synth sounds to shine through with real dynamism.

Jessy Mach’s superb guitar performances are another reason for my enjoyment of Night Shifter. He has nimble fingers and a good ear for weaving solos that are expressive and intricate. The power and life within the guitar help to elevate the music to a higher plane of pleasing listening.

Along with Jessy Mach’s own vocal performances, his guest singers each bring their own sensibility to the music. The high quality of the vocals helps to lift the song’s lyrics and adds more depth to the overall auditory quality of the album. I enjoy the level of engagement the guest singers create.

My Favourite Tracks Analyzed

"Fluo Tail Lights” starts off as hard-edged, rapidly tumbling bass whirls in a fierce cascade. Low synth crunches into the music as massive drums pulse. Smooth, flowing synth gently descends as a high, sweeping sound calls out. Rapidly ripping sounds fly though the track above battering drums and urgent bass.

A gently flowing, enfolding segment unfolds in ear-pleasing contrast as warm synths climb like thermals. Quickly whirling, shadowy synth growls and drums keep thundering. Undulating synth slices and dark bass snarls far below as the drumbeat throbs. The track ends on caressing, flashing synth notes.

Medium-low, broadly flowing synth drifts in a gentle pattern above guiding drums and oscillating bass to open “Night Shifter.” The wide-sounding synth creates a calming pattern before Jessy Mach's distorted, but expressive vocals drift in a mellow melody.

A trembling synth pattern twirls quickly while brighter synth glistens in a trumpeting line. Jessy Mach trades off with female vocals before the solid bass oscillation moves into drifting notes that glide out into open space. Jessy Mach's guitar cries out with enjoyable, passionate intensity over the steady drum and bass heartbeat.

The vocals slip through and elevated, taut synth cries out. The guitar is unleashed in a solo that vibrates with emotional power. Gritty synth flies out above the wheeling guitar in its own howling solo before the song ends on Jessy Mach's voice.

The narrator speaks about how he’s so lost without the other person that it can “make me do anything.” He says that he doesn’t want know, implying that he wants to avoid hearing about the other person because “it’s just too much.”

“This Way” begins as lively, shiny synth leaps out in an energizing melody as hard-hitting drums drive and shimmering chimes dance. The lead synth has a rounded, brassy quality as it sings with dynamism and life. Jessy Mach's vocals are pleasingly warm-hearted and full of hope and need.

Rippling, string-like synth flickers in arpeggios as the guitar cuts in with more upbeat energy. An encouraging melody is carried on a soft-edged, medium-high synth. Jessy Mach's unique voice has an emotive quality to it as it moves.

A soaring guitar solo whirls out above rebounding drums and bass, in a coruscating cascade. Chimes flit and full-voiced synth dances to carry the main melody. Warming vocals slip along and the guitar intertwines with bursts of synth, lifting the song’s energy further.

The people who are “big faces around” tell the song’s subject what the narrator found. He says that he’s confused but hopes that it’s true that “I finally found you.”

He wonders what friend the other person used. Our storyteller says that he’s “scared to stand out” and he wants to run away. He concludes that “I really want to shout, I won't leave this way.”

Colossal drums pound in along with dense bass as “Find Love” commences. LAU’s soulful, expressive voice carries a melody that overflows with inspiration. LAU’s vocals are intensely elevating as Jessy Mach's guitar cuts in. The pounding drums drive on and brassy, glittering synth sings out a melody that explodes with joy.

I am drawn in by the sheer happiness in the chorus as it glows sunnily. The vocal melody grows tender as it flows and again the deeply-felt lyrics are carried by LAU’s retro-tastic voice. Drums and bass keep the energy levels high while Jessy Mach's exuberant guitar intricately flies through the song.

The storyteller addresses another character and talks about how they are trying to find the love of their life but “on that road you did suffer.” She says that person is clinging onto hope and “if you don’t know, it won’t hurt.” She adds that the song’s subject is getting tired of searching but “you can make it happen.”

In the chorus the narrator is encouraging, telling the other person that they can be “the lover you want if you can take it.” She adds that the song’s subject doesn’t recognize themselves but “you can’t help it.” She points out that the other person can’t give up until they find love.

Our storyteller goes on to say that even when the days are long and “you’re feeling low” the other person has to get up. She says that it’s getting harder for the song’s subject to hide their emotions. Now the song’s subject is holding onto hope because “you know you really want her.”

As the song concludes, the narrator asks, “Should you be searching for her? Would you know when you find her?”

Slightly gritty, sombre notes echo in a slow arpeggio that grows in energy to kick off “Lifeline.” The synth divides and tumbles as Rebecca Davies’ highly emotive voice calls out with warmth. Her voice pours effectively pours out expression as deep bass throbs.

The vocal melody is full of pain, a needy ache within it as the slow arpeggios turn. Rebecca Davies’ voice trembles and hurts as a shimmering arpeggio spins faster and drums guide the music. The vocal melody is full of melancholy as the drumbeat presses on and surging, vibrating synth notes move.

The  way in which this song showcases Rebecca Davies’ performance is deeply pleasing for me.The surrounding musical elements add even more feeling to the vocal performance and melody. We end on broadly echoing notes.

Our storyteller muses that a time may come, “maybe when I’m over the fall” and ready to run again that the other person will “find yourself in the path of another.” She adds that each time she makes a mistake “every little bit of me aches, every little piece of my heart breaks.”

She addresses the other person, saying that when they find themselves in a lover’s arms, it’s easier to “think that I’m wrong (and) live in the dark” but points out that really “easy isn’t easy at all.”

Now our narrator talks about seizing the opportunity right now, adding that “memories make memories.” She asks if what the other person wants is all of her energy.

The narrator muses that it might be a matter of time for them to have chances to “live in the same life (and) to figure it out.” She hopes for a time when they don’t doubt and concludes that “I know that I can do this without you, you’re a lifeline."

“Wheels Of Hell” comes to life against a deep bass backdrop as medium-high, gruffly shining synth floats out in a fragile melodic line. Now sharply glistening synth rings out in a slow moving arpeggio.

Angular, insistent synth flies out above throbbing drums and rich bass. Medium-high, full-sounding synth carries a victorious melody out above the powerful drums and bass. Jessy Mach's guitar flows out and a voice echoes through. I enjoy the dynamically bursting guitar sound in this track.

Wide-sounding, bright synth flares into life and glimmering notes rise as gruffly shining synth twists. The music moves into a segment in which Jessy Mach's guitar shivers and cries out while drums and bass push on. His guitar solo is intricate and full of energetic motion. Ringing notes dance out and the beat drives on below as the track ends on glowing synth.

Conclusion

Night Shifter bursts with energy, expression and neon-drenched sound. Jessy Mach and his musical guests create an intensely engaging atmosphere within the music and keep me listening as the album unfolds.

Chatterless - This Fun Might Kill Us

Review by Karl Magi

Overall Album Impressions

Chatterless’ This Fun Might Kill Us has a tenuous, yearning quality that lends it a sense of vulnerability. There’s a gentle glow permeating the music, leavened by energetic moments, while synths lushly intertwine and the low end shapes the other auditory elements. I feel both calmed and melancholy listening to this album.

Nostalgic, mournful emotion is a hallmark of Chatterless’ sound on This Fun Might Kill Us. There’s peace in the music, but it is soft-edged and tinged with an aching feeling. There are bright moments to leaven the more melancholic emotions, but the pangs remain part of the music.

All of the synths on This Fun Might Kill Us are well-curated to mingle and contrast with one another. The gentler, more enfolding sonic elements are balanced with rougher or more hopeful sounds to form a cohesive sound. I enjoy the multiplicity of emotions and sensations that the different synths produce.

I’ll also add that I’m drawn to the way in which Chatterless can evoke feelings with instrumental synth music. Just because the music isn't produced by acoustic instruments doesn’t mean that it can’t still create emotion. I feel that Chatterless shows a good deal of skill in using synth sounds to produce expressive music.

My Favourite Tracks Analyzed

"Today Is Tomorrow” comes to life as the sound of a door being shut is joined by glittering synth flashing to life. Rounded, nasal-sounding synth drifting as fat, dense bass bounces in a dynamic pattern. The snare drum forms an active beat as it intertwines with the bass. High, flickering synth carries a roaming melodic line over the hard-hitting drums.

Full-sounding synth interacts with a glowing higher synth sound in a drifting line that lends it a pleasingly desolate sensation. Underneath it, thick bass throbs and strong drums provide a guiding beat. Glimmering, elevated synth wriggles and twines through the track before soothing synth flows into quiet.

Powerful bass pulses in an uneven line underneath ticking drums to commence “Balcony Views.” A soft focus synth trickles in easily moving cascades as a guitar-like synth flows. now full, rich synth moves in a gently pulsating and caressing pattern.

Shining, guitar-like synth sings out in a wonderfully calming melody. Warm synth glides as thick bass bounces below it. Smooth-sounding synth moves in undulating ripples while a higher, more diffuse synth carries the tranquil melody and the taut, flickering higher synth fades out.

“This  Fun Might Kill Us” starts as gleaming, faintly rough synth slips and ticking drums pulse. Broad, string-like synth trembles as it carries a melody full of dreamy emotion above a massively throbbing drum and bass heartbeat. Smoother, medium-low synth with a resonant quality takes up the hopeful melody. Arpeggios slowly revolve and the drums and bass effectively anchor the music as they throb.

Glistening arpeggios whirl until the track flows into a segment in which peace-filled, tender synth drifts. Drums tick again as elevated, softly touching notes sound and cascading arpeggios twirl below the feathery melody as the drumbeat guides the track before silence falls as sparkling chimes fade.

Softened synth flows along with elevated sparkles to start “Immortal Surfer.”  Slowly pulsing, solid bass is joined by unevenly throbbing snare drum and a lightly touching hi hat.  Luscious golden-toned synth slides through the music, radiating a sense of compassion that draws me in.

Drums drop out as a medium-high, hollow synth carries a tenuous melodic line below sparkling arpeggios. Rebounding drums and rich bass form a shaping pulse below the airily flickering melody. There’s a breathy ease that mingles hope and something aching in the melody before the track ends.

“Room Service” opens with muffled sounds that flow as glimmering synth sings out a positive melody as drums sharply scrape and tick, effectively supporting the melody’s hopeful emotions.

Now the full drum kit hits to propel the music forward as breathy chimes drift ethereally above the melody as it shines with encouraging light. Rich bass bubbles up to support the other musical elements while drums shape the music. Far above, airy panpipes breathe with pacific light in contrast to the more energetic melody.

A wave washes through and the drums fade briefly before tapping back into action. The main melody sings as the panpipes exhale calmly and the drumbeat ticks along while a wave washes again and silence falls.

Evenly rippling arpeggios spin out in a steadily moving wave to bring “Sunset Flow” into being. Sparkling synth adds a glinting light and the drums move in, propelling the track with lively motion. Nasal-sounding, ringing synth flashes out in twinkling light. I enjoy the way in which the main melody is delicate, but imbued with yearning.

The throbbing drumbeat and lush bass move the track forward as they pulsate far below. There’s a thoughtfulness in the main melody as continually swirling arpeggios add depth while the drums press on and the bass uplifts the track. Medium-high, glistening synth sings out tenderly as the beat and bass drive on to a conclusion.

Conclusion

This Fun Might Kill Us is synth music with expression and feeling at its heart. Chatterless has skilfully woven together synth sounds to make the listener feel intense emotion. I enjoy being transported on this delicate, melancholy journey upon which I am taken by the music.

Powerkørd - Retrocede

Review by Karl Magi

Overall Album Impressions

Powerkørd’s Retrocede is a tale of danger, darkness and a glimmer of light trying to break through. The album combines strong melodies with well chosen synth sounds, intimidating bass and dominating drumbeats to produce intense musical imagery. I enjoy the aural tale that Powerkørd weaves as this sonic journey carries forward.

Powerkørd’s melodies on Retrocede have clarity and expression woven into them. I enjoy the way in which each melody unfolds a small story within an individual track, contributing to the overall album arc. The emotions and imagery contained within them are engaging and dramatic in a way that enhances the storytelling aspect of the music.

Synths have an enormous capacity for creating wildly varied sonic palettes and Retrocede showcases that capacity well. Powerkørd has carefully drawn together a mixture of snarling, flowing, shining and textural synth sounds. He layers and interweaves, contrasts and complements different synths as he tells us the album’s story.

The mass and heft of the bass and the percussion on Retrocede contribute to the portentous, endangered sensations that fill the music. There’s an ominpresent shadow that lurks in the album’s underpinnings and helps lend the tracks a sense that some imminent threat is about to manifest itself.

My Favourite Tracks Analyzed

"Waiting In Darkness” begins as a steady drone with a tinge of threat is joined by gruff, sharp synths slowly moving in echoing notes that rise and fall. A thick bass pulse adds weight and anchors the track as rippling, medium-high digital synth arpeggiates and reverberates in minor key lines.

Now arpeggios spin continuously over steadily throbbing, dense bass as cosmic sound whorls drift out above it. Medium-low, rough-edged synth carries an energizing, dramatic melody that slices with well-crafted triumph above a bass oscillation and in between haunted, higher notes that fade away as the track ends.

Buzzing notes tremble ominously as they writhes above gritty bass and below hollow, distant synth to start “Incarcerated.” Fat, trumpet-like synth carries a melody that’s both delicate and agonized as the drums smoothly throb. A thick bass oscillation moves the music below the shifting, airy, open-voiced synth.

Medium-high, nasal-sounding synth dances in oboe-like, gentle arpeggios that grow in volume and glow as they flutter in a pleasingly melancholy line. Muted, rounded trumpeting synth carries a slowly hurting melody while shining notes gleam above the slightly corrugated bass and smoothly guiding drums. The track ends on the hollowness and float.

“The Brotherhood” opens as flashing, metallic synth cascades in rapidly intertwining, rushing notes.  Massive synth flows underneath in huge, charging slabs while heavy bass rises and a propulsive snare and kick drum combo are joined by flourishing toms.

Crushing synth walls are cut by glittering, elevated synth gliding above colossal bass and towering synth. I enjoy the majesty of that gigantic synth sound. The bass is thick below medium-high, nasal sounding synth with a wobbling quality that carries a victorious, rushing melody.

The main melody adds an urgent feeling above rippling bass and steady hi hat pulse. Interlocking, wildly spinning synth falls and the kick drum and hi hat add shape while the huge synth flows out and silence falls.

Tranquil synth slips into the music above rich bass, carrying a pained and soothing melody tinged by a wistful, fragile chime to begin “Guided By A Fallen Star.” A smooth snare drum and light hi hat add percussive direction below the tremulous, airy melody that beautifully creates a peaceful sensation.

Starry synth dreams above the lightly touching drums as they shape the music.  Warmly singing, high synth floats out in a reassuring melody that runs soft hands over the soul as the drums steadily flutter. Tumbling, flickering synth sparkles above the lead synth melody, so full of calming and settling emotion. The melody drifts alone above the bass before ending.

“Join the Fold” commences as sinister bass pulses with blunt force, heavy with dark intent. A high sound ramps up and  heavily hitting drums intertwine with gnarly bass to create slowly propulsive motion.  Gritty, medium-low synth effectively carries a melody both tragic and triumphant above the great weight below it.

Drums batter and funky bass adds a strong groove as hard-edged lead synth carries a weighty, muscled melody. The melody’s wild movement reaches upwards with yearning nobility as massive drums crash and the dark bass surges. A smoother, airier secondary synth roams in a wistful melodic line.

Now the track drifts into a gentle segment in which metallic, digital-sounding synth trembles below bright notes illuminating the interlocking bass and drums. Shimmering, chiming synth carries a lambent  melodic pattern with a melancholy tinge. Smoothly swirling synth shines above the drum and bass propulsion before silence falls.

Reverberant, glowing synth slowly ripples into “The Shadow Dance” with a hint of troubled emotion as it is hit by a threatening, jagged bass wave that shivers far below. The bass forms a rushing throb as elevated arpeggios slowly turn. Metallic percussion adds a clashing feeling above the  seething, gruff bass.

Arpeggios flash warning as a high, fluting sound cuts in.  After a gong sounds, victorious synth trumpets as a chorus of shadowy voices calls out and jangling percussion throbs. The entire track does a superb job of conveying staggering power and a sense of dominant danger before silence falls.

“Under Thundering Skies” opens as thunder cracks and rain pours. Battering bass oscillates rapidly as a snare drum rushes into a speeding beat. Assaulting synth slabs growl in a dynamic pattern and smoother, shimmering synth dances out in a surprisingly uplifting melodic line.

Throbbing drums and urgent bass add intense motion and strength. Now gliding, hollow synth dances in a melody that has a hint of aching and a caressing feeling above the driving weight underneath it. There’s a lonely quality in the glittering synth that I appreciate.

Steady choral sound  flows as the hard-edged drums and massive bass shape the swirling main melody.  Drums keep pressing on as rounded, brassy synth howls with an energetic melody, tinged with threat. After a drum flourish, truly huge synth rumbles above bass motion and silence falls.

Soothing synth flows, as a darker synth hints at troubled feelings to start “Retrocede.” Bursting, gargantuan synth flares out in a towering wall as a pounding kick drum heaves underneath it and reverent sounds flow. A snare drum moves along with muscled bass as a flowing, smooth synth slides in above it.

After a drum fill, the track drives on with lightly drifting, worshipful synth above the dangerous weight below it. I am drawn to the strength of those contrasting elements. Medium-low, shimmering synth sings out a propulsive, yearning melody as it climbs.

Gently reverent synth flows and powerful drums and bass shove forward with slow strength. High, open-voiced synth adds a hurting, but dreamy melody before the track ends.

Conclusion

Retrocede takes a rich, layered approach to synth music that is combined with strong melodic sensibilities, a flair for the dramatic and sonic storytelling. Powerkørd has a knack for unfolding a tale through music and I enjoy being taken on that journey.

Dopesketch - Electronic Dope

Review by Karl Magi

Overall Album Impressions

Dopesketch’s Electronic Dope is full of truly colossal bass, fascinating percussion and a unique series of sonically interacting, synthesized “earscapes.” Dopesketch continues to refine his creative, individual approach to electronic music and synthesis with this album. The end result has a mesmeric quality to it that interests me.

All of the synth sounds that fill Electronic Dope have constantly intriguing textures and sonic signatures that keep my ears tingling. I enjoy the way in which Dopesketch combines contrasting timbral and tonal elements to weave intricate, unmistakable soundscapes that ensnare my ears.

Percussive sounds come in a luscious plethora on Electronic Dope. Their variety and interesting auditory signatures provide more opportunities for Dopesketch to create rhythm and motion in his music. The end result are beats that interlock to move the music in fascinating ways.

An underlying current of powerful bass forms a strong underpinning for the tracks on the album. There’s a tidal energy permeating the music on the album to add shape to it. The way in which the other auditory elements are supported by the bass allows them to work better as a whole.

My Favourite Tracks Analyzed

“Monday Night” starts off as thudding bass is broken by stuttering, computerized sounds and a hollow, twisting noise. Warmly swirling chords move above flashing cymbals as crystalline synth chimes descend in a gently sparkling melodic pattern.

The melody contrasts well with the underlying sonic weight. Hollow synth shifts above heavy drums and bass as caressing, full chords massage the ears. Gigantic drums and dense bass throb while the scudding, digital sounding synth trips through the music.

Enfolding synth chords flow up and now broad, bouncing synth notes are split by glittering chimes. Skittering digital sounds interact with the chimes as swelling chords tremble along with rippling, rich synth notes.

Piano-like notes jangle into the music’s open spaces with a roaming feeling to open “Seamstress.” Densely throbbing bass and an entangling, intense sonic pulse keep moving as drums jump and pop. High notes flicker as bouncing drums pound and piano notes flit along while a chugging sound moves below them.

There’s an intriguing layered, tightly packed feeling to this track’s sound. Extended notes sweep with gruff edges, contrasting with the wildly voyaging piano as gleaming synth flickers. An engine-like chugging rumbles along with the drums as they skip along with expanding digital sounds.

“Jersey Girl” begins as wobbling, metallic synth trembles along with tight, angular notes moving in a mournful pattern. Drums form a guiding and varied rhythm below broad, gruff synth shifting along with metallic chimes. Fat, lower synth is effectively interspersed in between shivering, metallic synths creating a hypnotic motion as they play off the lower sound.

The drums return after fading to trip along smoothly. Raised, twisting synth has an unsettling feeling compared to the anchoring sounds that drop down through the music. Tremulous synth moves along with a computerized sound in the trance-inducing pattern with an energetic quality.

Meandering synth with a digitized sound plays off against softer synth whorls to open “Pirates.” The drumbeat rattles and the bass creaks below it. The denser, wider-spectrum synth has an enfolding feeling and the higher synth creates an effective contrast with its round and rich sound.

There’s a dreaming quality in the melodic pattern as drums skip and pop above underlying bass weight. A wistful feeling permeates the melody as it trades off between synths. Drums thump and trip to guide the track while gruff bass grunts and throbs as synths intertwine. The melody glides on before fading.

“Dance Reels” starts as a misty, distorted keyboard carries diffuse, lost-feeling notes over hard-hitting bass, clapping percussion and metallic tapping. Metallic notes ring out as the vibrating, shivering keyboard sounds are touched by computerized notes.

Clashing, jumping percussion contrasts with distant keyboard to set up a complex, interesting sonic pattern. Digital-sounding notes shake through, feeling uncertain while the keyboard rambles before silence falls.

Rebounding, rapidly moving percussion shifts below threatening, full-sounding synth to commence “Excited Subjects.” 8 bit noises zip and wriggle into the music as a hollow, tense synth pops while bass oscillates.

Cosmic, echoing synth moves with sparkling, twittering sounds while hard-edged, dark bass climbs. A steady synth pulsation is joined by an undulating, tinkling sound. I enjoy the segment in which clapping flows into gently caressing sounds and elevated notes interlock as popping, pulsing percussion shifts and silence falls.

“Belly Bizz” starts with broadly trembling, radiant synth echoes out in glowing lines as heavy bass throbs and colossal drums rebound. A full, medium-high synth flashes and flutters above the brighter synth jumping into the track.

I enjoy the warm, drifting melody as it cries out. Gigantic drums pulse and thick bass fills the track’s low end. Sunlit, flaring synth weaves a twisting pattern as the medium-high synth melody floats out in a distorted line. Drums bounce heavily and fade as the synth flares above it gleam with energetic light.

Gruff, medium-low synth is guided by hollow, unique percussion and heavier battering drums along with rich bass opens “Firefly.” Gritty synth vibrates in slowly shifting lines as resonant percussion fades briefly.

Computerized sounds drift as rough-edged synth repeats and hollow, pounding drums echo in an ear pleasing, percussive tide. Tapping percussion moves as massive drums thunder and a repeating, medium-low synth pulse hypnotizes. Quick synth lines stutter and fade away interspersed with broken sounds.

“44oz” kicks off as a steady bass drone and bursting drums move with slowly interlocking, medium-high synth pulses. Actively moving bass throbs regularly as scraping, twisting sounds shift above it and big drums thud.

Above them, a shivering synth trembles and gleaming, distorted notes carry a shaky melodic pulse. Richly resonant synth moves in gruff lines that form an interesting contrast with the tremulous sounds. The drumbeat keeps thumping and high sounds cut in and out as the undulating bass pulse moves in active lines until the track ends.

Diffuse, smoothly flowing background synth is guided by massive drums to open “Knock Twice.” Shimmering synth climbs and roams in rapid motion with a sharp brightness above the echoing, misty background.

Starry sparkling flickers out in a way that draws me to it as the lead melody dances along with rising light. The drumbeat strikes weightily and steady, deep bass moves below it. Raised synth with a cutting shine flits along with softly intermingled background synth.

“Mocaljete” begins as dense, rich bass throbs. Soft-edged, metallic synth flows in an all encompassing, tender melody over the hard-hitting, guiding drums. High synth motes float like dust in the sun.

Lower, warming synth notes flow out in a charming, glistening line as heavy bass pulses and the drums jump and trip. Rounded synth notes drift in a glowing melodic line and the track fades on diverse, unique percussion and thick bass.

Digital sounding synth sparkles, interspersed with repeating high sound to create a trance-inducing motion to start “December 7th.” Muscled bass heaves along with powerful drums in a strong rhythmic motion that I find engaging. Alternating organ-like synth and a steady, elevated sound throb regularly over the top of thunderous drums as distorted, digital notes flash and silence falls.

Conclusion

Electronic Dope represents a further growth in Dopesketch’s signature sound. His ability to make music with intricate, nuanced and heavily textural qualities has continued to grow and I enjoy hearing the results of that growth.
