Release Notes:
--------------
R.Marselje and J.P.van Engelen have produced the archetypal space
concept album here. 'Prologue (the story)' introduces the album,
describing the plot via a computer generated voice then embarking on a
well conceived sequential outing with some fine synth leads. It's a
moot point as to how well the subsequent tracks continue the story (as
the titles so clearly state that's the intention) but really it doesn't
matter because musically theres some good material on show here.
'Mission Briefing' is a laid back piece akin to Waveform's stylish
outings, and 'The Key' continues the form with a delightful melody.
'Alien Offensive' airs a slightly chaotic sequential rhythm, but
Brainwork fans will appreciate the rhythmic 'Activate Power Supply',
and one of the guys must be fan of Jarre's 'Magnetic Fields' judging by
'Retrieve Logfiles'. OK, so the concept is noth-ing new and none of the
tracks are out and out barnstormers, but this is good, clean, honest EM
which is easy on the ear and not taxing to the brain! (GG)
