Shimri is the dark electro instrumental project of Gary Dassing
(Mentallo & The Fixer).
While I’m not the biggest fan of instrumental music, I do have to give
credit where credit is due. The music contained on this CD is good. Gary
really mixes it up a lot here with energetic electronic rhythms and beats
over dark haunting melodies.
There’s a lot of different sounds and effects always coming and going
constantly while dramatic orchestrated harmonies float all around you.
There’s a dark beauty here that makes this music comfortable to listen to.
And it’s energetic enough to prevent you from ever losing interest.
There’s a slight touch of experimentation included here as well making
everything a little more frantic and chaotic. Just enough to keep you on
edge.
I guess my only real complaint here is that there isn’t a real big
difference between the tracks. Everything basically sticks to the same
formula and pace throughout. So once you’ve heard one track, you can pretty
much expect similar music the rest of the way. But it is all quite
interesting and entertaining. So you won’t be bored.
If you enjoy dark experimental electro instrumentals with a driving edge,
this Shimri CD is a must.
