ALBIORIX

There are few synthwave artists out there who create original tracks that are able to transport me. Saturn just launched a debut EP - ALBIORIX - and it brings me back to the late-70s and early-80s by fusing analog sounds with modern electro and synthwave influences.


What I really enjoy about this EP is the judicious use of the noise envelope and that "space" around notes. Saturn's ALBIORIX really takes me back and makes me want to dig out some of Wendy Carlos' more experimental works - or maybe just remember the dark arcades of my youth and lining up quarters on the machine for my shot at playing Tempest or Phoenix.
