Thine
Eyes is an experimental electronic band. What this album mainly delivers
is musical art instrumentals created with electronic sequencing, sampling
and drum programming. There is some structure and tribal rhythms and
beats, but for the most part this is experimental electronic sound effects
and noises all thrown together to make for some really different music.
There are some tracks here that actually include melodic male singing,
but it's very soft and muffled in the background. There's some funk
and sci-fi elements included as well to add even more variety. This
album does have a lot of different things happening in it and that's
what makes it interesting. I still wouldn't say that this music is my
cup of tea, but I can see how it might appeal to someone. Most experimental
electronic musical art bands just don't make any sense to me, but Thine
Eyes is actually doing something quite creative and diverse. It might
not be my thing, but I still respect it for what it is. At least I hear
talent and skill in these songs. I can't really say the same for a lot
of other acts out there doing similar music. However, this album also
proves to me that Thine Eyes could indeed be a very good electro industrial
or synth-pop band if they wanted to be. The music is very layered and
the little singing included in some of these songs is very good. I personally
think this is the direction that they should go in the future. But as
far as experimental electro music goes, Thine Eyes is one of the best
bands that I have heard. This album will hold your interest and make
you want to come back for more.
