Abakus - Silent Geometry 2013
#Downtempo #Breaks #Chillout
Electronic music master mind Russ Davies, a.k.a. Abakus, is set to release his new album Silent Geometry this Thursday, April 4, 2013. The brand new album illustrates a different type of feel from the older Abakus albums; this release evokes more of a downtempo atmospheric feel, with a distinctive stripe of sci-fi. An emotional story of passion colors every note of this album. I feel that this latest creation appeals to fans of both psychedelic and chillout music.
The first track on the album starts off with light synth chord progressions of deep beauty, combined with melodic vocals that really define the entire album. There is so much diversity throughout the album: from the classical elegance displayed on the track “The Sleeper Must Awaken” to new age downtempo womps like those on ”Angelic” to the sounds on ”I Had A Dream Last Night,” which features acoustic strings with downtempo electro-pop synths, combined with a melodic choir. It’s tracks like these that viscerally evoke the depth of feeling and emotion, painting the picture Russ is trying to express.
