Artist: Germind
Title:
Synthesis
Label:
Cosmicleaf
Released:
18th September
The
latest single from German born but St. Petersburg based Germind . The
advertising blurb states ‘Germind transforms his galaxy of sound
synthesis to a downtempo psychill trance universe. Full of acid lines
and deep space arps invite you in an endless twisting spiral dance
under the stars’. Which I’m sure if your a regular reader of this
blog sounds enticing.
This
single goes against the grain, in the sense it doesn’t start with
the title track. However, the intro to the piece entitled ‘Spiral
Light’ is quite frankly superb. Lush deep synth voices rise out of
fuzzy electrical noise and
slowly drifts into a hypnotic blend of psychill and trance and acid
and that flowery description of ‘an endless twisting spiral dance
under the stars’ isn’t far wrong.
The
next track ‘Fractuals of Being’ is more of a hypnotic plodder.
Admittedly, it’s got all the right ingredients in the pan. However,
it doesn’t deliver the dish as well as it’s precursor in my
opinion. Maybe on another day I’d feel differently or with further
listens it may grow on me.
Last
up is the title track ‘Synthesis’ and again it’s a bit of a
plodder. The difference
between this and the last track is there is a heavy 303 influence to
the piece. In the right mood this is definitely music to let you mind
get lost in and perhaps this single would have worked better building
up to the opening piece, as opposed to working downwards and
finishing here?
