I have always been attracted to lengthy, uncanny instrumental music. The absent of human voice is quite a delight sometimes. And knowing that it’s composed and performed by a guy like Fenriz of Darkthrone fame just makes it even more interesting.
Anyway, it’s not the first Neptune Towers album I’m blabbering about. This is Fenriz’ second release with the dark soundscape project (1995) and it’s no less intriguing. Still framed in the fictional saga of ‘empire algol’ (“Transmissions from Empire Algol”), I have read mixed review of this release (notably on metal-archives).
Maybe it’s the short and repetitive weird melodic tunes midway through the album that makes the whole affair less appealing than its predecessor. It sure makes the whole thing sounds a bit more ‘melodic’ than Neptune’s debut.
Whatever. This is no review blog. You either f#$king love it or f@#king hate it. I just know I can still stomach the album, with the melodic bit and whatnot.
