OCEAN WITHOUT A SHORE

First Steps: 'Synaesthesia' energetic electro sound, the flame is there; a catchy guitar, Daniel's drums, Soraia as Lee, the killer crescendo with the raging guitar halfway through; a nostalgic piece in continuity that invites you to travel; break with the rain, the piano, having confronted this renewal on a positive spleen. 'Do Angels Sing Like Rain?' repetitive shoegaze, helping to jump; the basic melody that is imprinted with Vincent in a dream on the vocal; the explosion is close to one of the albums from the beginning of the millennium; haunting and hypnotic with an idyllic finale. 'Untouchable Part 3' as a sequel to 'Weather Systems' on the same movement up to the vocals; a sad, moving ballad, with the classical orchestration amplifying everything; sharing nostalgia and progress; the final arpeggio delivering the fatal blow. 'Ghost In The Machine' looped on a metronomic hang; the vocal duo captivates with its harmonies; the hypnotic crescendo and the final haunting guitar. 'Are You There? Part 2' from 'A Natural Disaster' comes out 20 years later, juggling on nostalgia; as much as the original screamed its fragility and emotion in an intense way, here it is a facsimile boosted by Daniel's drums.

Learning to Fly: 'Still Lake' with the crystalline piano then the velvety synth in electro ambiance; Soraia with ethereal choirs on a new-wave air of the Cure before the wickedly cathartic explosion in which Daniel makes his heavy guitar scream on the atmospheric finale. 'Take Me With You' remains in the era of the natural disaster with the typical baby noise; a nostalgic message, her favorite period? Soraia presents this intimate ballad track lit by the echoing piano; to be taken as a sequel with this feeling of floating between memories and the present. 'Ocean Without A Shore' shoegaze atmosphere, distant sounds; a vocoder smelling of 'Closer', an intimate piece before the haunting electronic departure of Riverside where the heady beat gives light in this crescendic push; the fresh and hypnotic electronic prog creates an endless musical overloop. 'The Space Between Us' with 'Biko' or even 'In Your Eyes' in the background, a real work with the ASA as a musical signature from the time when Anathema still existed; a tribal harmony completed with an atmospheric post-rock sound reinforcing dreams, the hope of a new beginning.

Weather Systems released a hypnotic album of alternative prog, '. Daniel continues the adventure by distilling sounds filled with emotion to free himself from the torments of life; an album that gains volume over the course of listening, with an impressive spleen. Originally on progcensor.
