VISIONS OF DUNE

Much things have been said by my colleague about this astral-kosmsiche oddity. I largely agree with his interpretation. Conceptually based on Frank Herbert's popular sci-fi book, this album reveals a real musical signature. The work of the man behind the machines (Bernard Szajner) admits almost no comparison. Nevertheless, mainly due to the presence of others artists we can perceive an abundant use of menacing power rockin dynamics mixed with burgeonning buzz electronics. This aspect can also be noticed in the works of french contemporaries, notably Heldon, Pôle and Flamen Dialis. This album is not pure electronica despite that there's a solid use of digital sequencers. Visions of Dune is a highly inspired and meditative electro-raw-avant garde rockin trip. The opening theme starts with a buzzing droning waves for sutained loops, molecular vibes and suspensful e-guitar leads. Bashar is a sidereal tripped out piece for moving electronic scintillations, hypno-drums. The rest of the album features strange surreal ambiences, moody-intricate-schyzo electronic patterns, spacey rockin' guitar tricks. This is not an easy listening despite that we can detect some cold pop-ish electronic injections into the mix (Ibad...). To sum up things, Visions of Dune reveals complex, bionic-electro epics. This one is constantly eclectic and fascinating with an unique sound aesthetism. A must have for proggy electronic fans.
