A mysterious swirl ebbs and flows over an obsessive, nervous piano melody that layers with a fleeting metronomic tick and a dire brittle wistful stabbing, gaining strength amidst cool subtle haunting glows and anxious, warbly twirls, before meandering off into a tinkly melancholic yet playful introspection paired with a sober brood, as the thrill of the rolling plucking synth spiral returns to light the orbit with a strobing, anticipation building aura, that cushions the dramatic doom-laden break-down beneath.
- Greece acid /electro /techno producer Fragedis – “Linear Sequence #1″ from upcoming “Linear Sequence EP [Modal Analysis]
Electro funk groove meets Techno precision and restraint at 140 bpm, combining the looping hypnotic pace of relentless gurgling acidic bass lines, sliced by heavily shattering beats and alienating atmospheric synth glows that twist in and out with a ghostly vortex of obsessive, stressed out filtered vocals, to create both a disturbing introspective feel and a high-energy dancefloor grit.
