3 stars ZOMBI is the bass-synth and drums duo (Moore and Paterra) created in 2001 which performed with Red Sparrows and Goblin playing dark, electronic, intimate, underground rock on melodies of a sensibility leading to unhealthy reverie. References to the great Tangerine Dream which embark on dark and fresh atmospheres at the same time, watch out for the sting of the ray for listening.

"Mangler" starts with hypnotic and atmospheric proto-kraut, a hyper-present rhythmic section with bass and drums by Paterra, a throbbing, monolithic, black tune while crescendo, Archive in memory. "Darker and more intimate song based on a black and bewitching Robert Smith riff, synthetic majestic air bringing a dreamlike tension; crescendic effect often found on the soundtracks of Tangerine Dream films, a good attractive title. '' Liquid Crystal '' title reminiscent of 'Sorcerer' precisely or Carpenter for this minimalist, linear, creative and ethereal sound, an even higher rise where synths and drums are having a blast until the enjoyable deliverance of the guitar overboosted by Moore, immense synth prog. "Turning Points" for the track with an ascending rhythm reminding me of the bass of The Cure period cold wave or that of The Gathering for the symphonic metal; Goblin for the soaring sympho-orchestral tune; monolithic title that captivates you, hypnotizes you, creating an unhealthy tension that sets your hair up. "Black Forest" to end this EP which I cannot forget to quote Tangerine Dream with "Force Majeure" or "Thief"; 80's sound with a funky note with Moroder too, in short a heavy groove that makes you go into ecstasy.

ZOMBI releases this hypnotic, dark, bewitching 6th EP on a retro-synth base; an electronic monolith to date the original creations of the Tangerine Dreams and the Red Sparrows with the sweetness of a Gregor Samsa.
