DESCRIPTION
==================
The Omega Syndicate is back with a strong follow-up to Phonosphere, once again exploring the fun side of Berlin school.
Lots of electronic tweets and space twitters start the 14-minute title track. When the first sequence appears just past 3:00 it is ultra cool. Scorching leads fly over the top, and then mellotron strings follow in short order. The blistering guitars sound like Tangerine Dream in their heyday, aggressive in style but restrained in the mix, just as it should be.
Bubbly rapid loops and a thumping beat start "The Lycanthropic Principle" with panache. A nice interplay follows between electric guitar and light crystalline synth tones, a real gem of a track.
Then comes the 22-minute epic centerpiece, "The Global Extinction of the Wireless". As The Omega Syndicate does so well, this one takes its sweet time to develop just so. The buildup is not just aimless meandering waiting for an obligatory sequence, there is purpose and forethought to it. The playing is comfortable and confident as the music hits its stride past the 7:00 mark. The layers of synths, sequencing and guitars remind me a fair amount of Kubusschnitt, though I think these guys raise it even a notch above that. This would make a perfect ending to the disc, but there are still 13+ minutes to go in the form of "Masque". Andy Pickford fans should go nuts for this one. From the sharp melodies to the toe tapping beats to the rocking guitar and synth solos, this has it all. Despite the lengthy running time, the abrupt ending comes too soon. - 2008.
