This is the second release by this
very talented Dutch duo. The groups first album, "Being There" (
no relation to Peter Sellers 'Chauncy Gardner' character) was a
big hit in Europe. Their new release "Blind Date" is similar in
style but covers a bit more musical territory. Too few people in
this genre have explored beyond the cosmic music of mid-70's Klaus
Schulze and Tangerine Dream.There's been Lightwave, Michael Stearns,
and a few others, but there's not much of that sort of music around
at the moment, especially so, such music that is highly creative
and with its own identity. On their earlier cd release Syndrone
expressed great spacious expanses, and cosmic esoteric music seemed
to be their forte. Yet, a touch more down to earth, with this strangely
titled disc, Syndrone has tried to create a music of great depth,
with the accent on melody and infectious poly-rhythms. Often, having
such an attitude to musical creation takes the music to very strange
realms, towards early Cluster or even the atmospheric realms of
Frose's early solo albums. The palette ot sounds is extremely rich
and varied. Syndrone is certainly one of the most creative and original
synth duos around at the moment, and as their second musical statement
, it's very impressive!
