‘Walking To Antares’ is very Jarre-like with driving sequenced rhythms and attached effects, with a flowing high-register lead synth melody flying over the top. Here’s the in-depth stuff… ‘Labrat Liberator’ is a briskly paced melodic opener with a punchy bass-line and a steadily growing melody line over the top which is catchy and a little SPACE ‘Magic Fly’ like is style with the odd syn-drum effects some distant faint voice samples in the background. Please Note: A Download code for a Bonus Track comes with this CD. When I started playing ‘Spinal Staircase’ the first big-name musician I thought of was Jean-Michel Jarre, but by the time the last track had completed it’s near 30-minute run, the “Berlin School” of thought was firmly fixed in my mind, but with a more modern slant on the rhythmic element – a bit like how AXESS sounds in full rhythmic flow – bombastic, dynamic, hard-driving and ever so exciting! The instruments Hassinen used to produce ‘Spinal Staircase’ were: ARP Odyssey Mk3 / Minikorg 700s / Ensoniq EPS 16+ / Korg 01Wfd / Roland JP8000 / Roland XP-50 / Kurzweil K2000s / Akai S4000 / Korg M50 / Korg TR61 / Addictive for Ipad / various Sequencers & efex and e.guitar. This is the 2013 solo album from Ami Hassinen, one part of the Finnish Synth trio NEMESIS.
