This is next album sent from Canadian label Unicorn Digital Inc. and this will be next difficult matter to description, because a music come from this label has influences of progressive music. I have not larger difficulties with description metal music and even rock music but I have not experience in reviewing sounds which they have anything common with Metal and which ones I listen occasionally only.
And therefore I suggest that the above mentioned band and rather solo project is more designed for very liberal readers of our website because you will not find here a bit of metal playing. But if someone likes calm and very climatical sounds then he should not disdain the album of “Cyber Neptune”.
The nostalgic and balladic subjects of the album gently flow out from loudspeakers and pleasantly stimulate our sense of hearing. The calm, guitar rock chords with gentle sound of the keyboards, the piano and the mellotron as well as with sedate percussive rhythm and the sections of bass create structure of the composition here. The arrangements oscillate among Progressive/Art Rock, Jazz and Pop music and they are very melancholy and sometimes even gently dark.
The vocal parties belong to Claire Vezina obviously. Her gentle singing pleasantly sounds over the whole. Moreover I tell you that the texts are in French language and I think that the language is ideally created to balladic works.
Generally the music brings many positive energy and creates pleasantly mood as well as it calms down. Though the compositions sometimes predispose strongly emotionally and arouse a melancholy, but in this positive meaning.
