Passable strings synth inventions by Schulze after the two gorgeous and avant
gardist "Irrlicht" and "Cyborg". However we cannot condemn "Blackdance" so easily. The
introduction of "Ways of Changes" provides some clever floating synth lines with the
combination of some repetitive, simplistic but efficient acoustic guitar notes. This
captivating start progressively lets the place to more insistent and evident musical
sequences made by analog synths and electronic percussions. As most part of Schulze's
albums the melodic line never ends and hardly catches the attention of the listener all track
long. This inconvenient will be reproduce in the two following pieces. "Some Velvet Phasing"
is an atmospheric, hypnotic synth soundscape featuring classic Schulze's synthetic
ambiences. "Voices of Syn " is an abyssal composition, a dark spacey hymn with vocals (a
male operatic voice). Despite that Schulze includes some innovative elements, his electronic
inventions are less daring and explore only the linear and accessible part of his
art...Blackdance seriously presents a scission after the grandiose "Cyborg" and introduces
the listener into the imaginary of Cosmic music and accessible but delicate synth ambient
sounds.
