Until I get the podcast running, I'll be uploading albums...


THYMIKON
Nipsis
Logistikon Records (1996)

This one-man project is made up mainly of trancy-electro pieces with sampled voices and a heavy Christian theme running throughout the CD booklet. The album is pretty much all-instrumental, with the exception of “Night” and some vocal samples here and there. Beau G. Branson is the man responsible for this collection and it is obvious he has thoroughly studied his subject and takes it very seriously, and therefore has no need to preach the way many other religiously-based bands do.

Musically, the only downside is the annoying and monotonous “Without 613” and the remix it gets later on, which gives me awful visions of the Hafler Trio. Most of the work is quite good, with my favorite probably being “Aeternus,” with it’s interweaving strings and soft electronics. Mr. Branson walks a fine line between ethereal and mellow electro, mostly to good effect. Definitely an impressive debut and not your typical electro CD.
