Michael Belletz, who is best known for his work as Mnemonic, has already released his fifth opus from his so-called ‘Ambient’ project Architrav. I believe that this latest work goes much further than just Ambient; it is an impressive mixture of influences and styles that ultimately form a fairly compact whole. It is not only Ambient but also Cinematic; but there are also explicit Industrial elements and even a very surprising song that sounds like a mix between Ambient and Gothic. Ultimately, there is also a Neo-Classic touch towards the end. Belletz does not set any boundaries for himself, but experiments wildly. The surprising thing is that it all still sounds good, but is especially fascinating because of countless details and overwhelming arrangements plus spooky vocals. This work sounds like an imaginary Industrial requiem that I can strongly recommend. (Rate:8).
