4 stars Brendan Pollard use mainly analog devices, including the beloved mellotron, very much present in this recording a (string and choirs sounds). The music is Berlin School electronic, much in the style of mid to late 70s Tangerine Dream. Sequencers rythms and patterns all all over the way, with some noise-generated rythms. It creates a nice atmosphere for those who likes this kind of music. You just can let you go. I like to use this kind of music as as soundtrack for sci-fi book reading, wich I do oftten. And Brendan Pollard provides quite a nice soundtrack. On the other hand, if you pay close attention to the performance, you may say that sometimes the sequencer patterns are lacking some dynamics. Maybe not so much in this work, but in his other recordings. It is not like TD who had al least one guy devoted entirely to do the sequencer job. Anyway, this was the first album I heard from Pollard, and it was quite a nice surprise. As I said, you will enjoy this if you are into Berlin School sequencer-driven kind of music.
