█ █ Melody!!! There's nothing to say that a synth music album can't be █ █
█ █ cosmic, rhythmic and tuneful too! All to often, people can confuse █ █
█ █ melodic content with something that has a twee tune on top of an █ █
█ █ insipid rhythm and set to an uninspiring backdrop - THIS superb CD █ █
█ █ is just the opposite! With 12 tracks over more than seventy-eight █ █
█ █ minutes of music, you will indeed find acres of space synths, █ █
█ █ loads of powerful driving rhythms from electro-percussive █ █
█ █ instruments and sequencers - and lashings of melodies and oceans █ █
█ █ of stirring string synth passages allied to an occasional █ █
█ █ NASA-like sample or two. But what makes '8th Nerve' work way █ █
█ █ better than any other CD of its kind that I know - and I've never █ █
█ █ been one for the more overtly melodic end of the synth music █ █
█ █ spectrum - is its sheer breadth of arrangement, depth of sound, █ █
█ █ brilliance of composition, attention to detail, and, above all, a █ █
█ █ warmth that comes only from musicians who absolutely adore what █ █
█ █ they're playing. There's no reason why any synth fan, from those █ █
█ █ of Jarre & Kraftwerk to Schulze & Tangerine Dream, should not find █ █
█ █ this album anything but absolutely riveting and a total joy to █ █
█ █ hear from start to finish. The rhythms are beefy and solid, █ █
█ █ decidedly 'synth' but with just a nod towards chill-out, while the █ █
█ █ string and textural synth backdrops are pure cosmic bliss, and █ █
█ █ over all of this are flowing, driving, drifting and multi-layered █ █
█ █ rivers of melodic delight constantly moving and rising up, the █ █
█ █ whole being way greater than the sum of the parts. In essence, █ █
█ █ it's a class act - I defy anyone with a love for good solid chunky █ █
█ █ and easily accessible synth music not to get a real kick, and █ █
█ █ hours of listening enjoyment out of this CD - It's got that █ █
█ █ certain something - something you can't readily define - The 'X' █ █
█ █ Factor if you like, that makes it so much more than just your █ █
█ █ average synth music album - Of its kind, I don't think I've one █ █
█ █ heard better! █ █
