This
band delivers ambient/experimental/tribal electronic music with beautiful
melodies combined with hard hitting rhythms and beats. While the occasional
female spoken word, sample, or chanting is included, these songs are
instrumentals for the most part. Some songs come off more energetic
like drum and bass style techno, while others are much darker and more
dramatic with an orchestrated edge. I like how the band manages to layer
everything in their music to really make it interesting to listen to.
Most experimental acts simply make annoying sound effects that just
go off in different directions. But Drumatic actually includes structure
to their music that holds it together, but still deliver enough twists
and turns to take the listener on a creative journey. Fans of bands
such as DEAD CAN DANCE, DELERIUM and ENIGMA will especially enjoy what
this album has to offer. At times the material here is slightly rougher
than what those acts produce, but there's still that ambient beauty
present here that those bands also create. Four of the tracks delivered
here are studio recordings, while the other seven are live. But everything
is very polished and well produced. Fans of ambient experimental electronic
music will definitely want to add this album to their collection.
