dreissk - edge_horizon

'edge_horizon' is the sophomore album from Seattle based electronic musician dreissk. The album flows through a series of interwoven themes that have a strong cinematic spine where futuristic-post-industrial vistas are forever in the hazy distance. There is an undeniable weight to such post-apocalyptic ambiance, quite often in passages with no discernible percussion. This shows dreissk mastermind Kevin Patzelt's adeptness at using restraint to create tension without resorting to the all-out bombast of his peers. Highly recommend for fans of Gridlock, Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack, and Stendeck.
