Ohm0001 simply incredible, so much coldness and warmth at the same time. An all encompassing dip into wretched eternity.

Outlander Relica weaves layers upon layers of sweeping synths that will transport you to a familiar world of cyberspace and megacorps. It's brooding, menacing, and oozing with neon dystopia. The album description references Neuromancer, and the musical cues allude to Blade Runner 2049. In my opinion, this EP has earned the right to such high company. It's a wonderful homage to cyberpunk. Favorite track: LOCK & KEY.

SteveSynth This is dystopia. A truly bleak look at another side to the future. Dark ambient synth that really manages to convey the sense of a hopeless alternative dimension. Favorite track: MONOLITH.

Jamie Whoa. This is massive. Favorite track: MONOLITH.

thw333333 From the outset, listeners are plunged into a bleak, desolate setting. Felicitous drum noises create a dark and reverberant soundscape for airy synths to emerge, while the subsequent, melodic setup leaves the listener hanging on to the enigmatic chord changes. It’s these constant textural and dynamic shifts that create a fluid relationship between the two concepts. Incredibly beautiful and reminiscent of Vangelis and Jóhann Jóhannsson.

So much more of this is needed! I just wanted more!

Favorite track: MONOLITH.

about

In Chiba, he'd watched his New Yen vanish in a two month round of examinations and consultations. The men in the black clinics, his last hope, had admired the expertise with which he'd been maimed, and then slowly shaken their head.
Now he slept in the cheapest coffins, the ones nearest the port, beneath the quartz-halogen floods that lit the docks all night like vast stages; where you couldn't see the lights of Tokyo for the glare of the television sky, not even the towering hologram logo of the Fuji Electric Company, and Tokyo Bay was a black expanse where gulls wheeled above drifting shoals of white styrofoam. Behind the port lay the city, factory domes dominated by the vast cubes of corporate arcologies. Port and city were divided by a narrow borderland of older streets, an area with no official name. Night City, with Ninsei its heart. By day the bars down Ninsei were shuttered and featureless, the neon dead, the holograms inert, waiting, under the poisoned silver sky.
- Neuromancer, William Gibson

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
