Seems there's been some interest generated in the EOY slander & hype thread abt his new album Steamdome2: the Hypogean I stumbled across it on rym & was pleasantly surprised; I've gotten tons of mileage out of it & I think its prob one of the standout releases this year
This thread was prob necessary just in order for me crowdfarm an adequate description: rym refers to it as "nu-jazz & progressive electronic" & thats prob good for the first track Arpy which starts out as charming neoprog & becomes, a few minutes in, entirely subsumed by windtunnel italo (as imago referred to it, "RIDING a HORSE THROUGH SPACE", lol) but much of the rest of the album is devoted to a sort of weird proggy version of 70s afrobeat? It sounded kinda corny tp me, like maybe 70s film scores corny? But the corniness is a distinctly ILX-friendly version of corniness...like almost a disco vibe? So maybe its like balearic afrobeat neoprog idk? I'll leave links to most of the album so maybe you guys can come up w something...
