This is a page featuring short reviews on new Symfo-CD's and tapes. "New" means in this case stuff File Under Symfo recently discovered/received, so not necessarilly recently released. This page is updated on a regular basis. In general, reviews will stay on this page for about six months before they'll be removed.
Void
Void is the pseudonym of Danyo Romijn, formerly member of Pink Floyd-cover project
("The wall") Pink Project and now also keyboarder of progressive rockband
Nangyala, that sort of emerged out of Pink Project.
The music on his self-titled debut is totally different from Nangyala's sound. Void is
heavily influenced by artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Jean Michel Jarre and
Pink Floyd (which he immediately admits in the CD's booklet).
As said before: I'm no expert when it comes to electronic music, but I do know some good
albums by Tangerine Dream and Void comes very close to them. When I played this album in
my office, two colleagues of mine, one Klaus Schulze-fan, the other fan of
synthesizer/electronic music in general, both liked the CD at instance (quote: "this
is good stuff").
"Void" contains four long titles between 8 and almost 13 minutes and each of
them is worth listening to. Recommended to anyone, who remotely likes Tangerine Dream
& co.
