Sensual expressionism of the post-space age
Besides the powerful beauty of the music, one of the elements that always impress and pleasantly surprise me in both Digital series by Project System 12 is the titling of the tracks. Titles that could also refer to paintings or other works of visual art; unexpected combinations of words, pieces of sentences that seem to have been cut out of a narration, references to mythical events or unknown stories that the listener is tempted to "reconstruct", using his/her own imagination and feelings.
A beguiling and mysterious world invites us to disassemble and then rebuild it in our mind, with the help of vigorous or ethereal melodies and intriguing musical imagery. There are returning echoes of themes that unify all Digital series, allusions to far-away worlds and dreamy alien landscapes.
This could be the soundtrack to an expressionist fairy tale of the post-space age, with solemn and sensual overtones, sometimes a playful mood or a Wagnerian ambitiousness.
An album of rich, uplifting music, filled with positive energy and light.
