SENSOR

Nowadays it's not an easy task anymore to find a memorable band name. This necessarily also must correspond with some successful music output. Then you are on the right path. Their debut album 'Sensor' delivers a splendid blend of progressive styles. Kosmische electronics are available of course, but also psych, symphonic and art rock. NEPTUNITE is comprised of three members who are residing in different German regions. Marc Schröder and Tim Diern (keyboards, programming) are knowing each other for quite some time. It was 2017, guitarist Guido Poetzel then joined the project, and they started to produce their first album, not based on a (still?) regular studio environment. The result is a really compelling effort of roundabout 80 minutes playing time.

The flow, the kraut beat, the opening Binaural partially reminds of Trees Speak. But just for the difference, there are more suspense build ups and cooling offs included on the other hand. Overall seen they are providing a charming mood anyhow, mostly pure relaxation, some exceptions prove the rule of course. Tactile Perception for example nearly reaches the thirty minute border, nevertheless this epic symphony comes just like a natural-based medical treatment against boredom and fatigue. Sensitive acoustic and electric guitar playing all over, and you're always inclined to hear an acoustic drum kit involved. Well, I find it rather difficult to name a similar music act concerning approach and execution. This band definitely deserves a lot more attention.
