Description/Reviews:

“2084: Viaggio nel Nulla” (2084: Journey into Nowhere) is a 100% Alphataurus record, starting from its beautiful and futuristic three-panel cover illustrated by the band’s new drummer, recalling the paintings of the magnificent debut album. Musically, the sound is more modern and catchy, but also delivers a complex and ever interesting song construction, as shown in the long tracks “Pista 6” and “Wormhole”. As the title suggests, “2084: Viaggio nel Nulla” is a dystopian, sci-fi concept full of philosophical and existential insights.

Credits
Ethan Janais Matthews (Echo Us) - vocals, all instruments

Produced and mixed by Ethan Janais Matthews 

Mastered for CD and LP by Dana White (Specialized mastering, Portland, OR)

LP lacquer by Gus Elg (Sky Onion mastering)

Description/Reviews:

 It is an accessible and distinctly atmospheric laden variety of the form we get here, and one that probably is closer to the neo-progressive tradition than anything else. We get a liberal amount of careful and elegant synthesizer and keyboard parts here that flow along in a manner not too dissimilar to an artist such as Vangelis. These exist as standalone interludes as well as combined with rhythms, a firm bass and carefully wandering guitars that combine into a flowing and atmospheric laden landscape of the kind that fans of neo-progressive rock will find to be strikingly familiar sounding. Occasionally with darker toned electric guitars added to the bottom end for a more impact-oriented and striking type of arrangement. Janais used to release music under the project name Echo Us, and those familiar with and that enjoy those albums should find themselves right at home with this first production released under the artist name Ethan Janais too. Otherwise this will be an album to seek out by those fond of accessible and atmospheric laden neo-progressive rock. (Olav M. Bjornsen at progressor.net's facebook)

Description/Reviews:

Although the project/album changed over the course of writing the second album to include a wider range of influences, Synthetic Outcomes was written with the intention of combining the tremendously under appreciated Adrian Belew with the themes and general oddness of Canada's Voivod.

Artwork and graphic layout by OndemediE

Description/Reviews:

The album "Il mondo esausto" (The Exhausted World), as the title suggests, is the group's vision of the contemporary world that tends to give, deprive and engulf emotions to the human being, making the latter afflicted by the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the impossibility of being able to realize in reality what the mind conceives or desires.

What characterises the songs is a cinematic breath. A series of "soundtracks" for every juncture of a typical day nowadays. No matter in what order you listen to the record, each of us from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep (then passing through the dreamlike) will touch in a completely personal way the emotion and sensation that each track suggests; frenzy, delicacy, frustration, resignation, hope, joy. The listener is accompanied in this emotional vortex that no one can deny experiencing from time to time.

Description/Reviews:

On this second part, the moods are darker and the sounds more electronic – veering into synth-rock and even ambient. Still, there is an overarching progressive structure to the music, complete with Yobrepus' bent for catchy alt-rock riffs and melancholy ballads.
