Synth&Sequences (Week of June 17th, 2012)

Bonjour to all of you, EM fans!  Here is an update of the Synth&Sequences Blog.

The more I dig into Alien Nature's musical world and the more I like it. Station Platforms is without a doubt
among the revelations of 2011:

From 2009, Medusa is also a great opus from Alien Nature. This time he wrote it with his longtime companion TMA:

An Artist's Stroke is one of the best works of Gert Emmens, if not his best, and undoubtedly one of the jewels
of 2012:

With Ruud Heij, Emmens still does great music and the sequencing is sometimes heavier, as on Journey; one of
2009's unnoticed music works:

A rendezvous with Picture Palace Music is not to be missed and Indulge the Passion proves it all:

Well, I know it's not TD's favorite to all but I liked it quite well:

Even if the melodies seem cold and calculated, Machu Picchu is a nice album which has its numerous winks of
eye at the great years of the Dream:

There is no better than Johannes Schmoelling to forge a melody from a note lost in the furrows of its
resonance. Listen to Time and Tide carefully and I'm sure you will find the link to that statement. It's a
great musical EM album:
