Many know Frederic Arbour as the owner of the Dark-Ambient label Cyclic Law, as well as for his own musical projects like Stärker and Visions. However, he has also released several productions under the Purgate moniker. This latest release features eight tracks that blend his various influences into a cohesive musical synthesis. A clear affinity for Dark-Ambient is present, initially mixed with slow rhythms in the background, later evolving into more obscure Techno elements toward the album’s final part. The music also carries an experimental edge, combined with a dreamy, dark, Cinematic quality. The songs build slowly, with dynamic sequences that give rise to an evolving sound. The shift to a visionary, obscure Techno ending is unexpected yet fascinating. This work is surprising, subtle, and undoubtedly innovative, transcending several genres. (Rating:8).
