Most great music demands patience. Granted, sitting down a devoting 70 minutes to listening to an album isn't an easy thing to do. But sometimes thats what needs to be done. A great album is a journey somewhere. And this album is a car ride right into an electrical storm. The Flashbulb is a IDM/Breakcore project that combines glitchy electronic percussion over beautiful lush soundscapes of orchestral music. It's like Squarepusher mixed with Thee Silver Mt. Zion.
Each track on the album is a completely separate part, unique from any other. When you listen to just one track, you feel like you were shown a glimpse into a new future world. But when song after song is played, you keep going further and deeper into this unknown future, and all you want to do is see more, and before you know it, seven tracks have pasted by. The sound is so atmospheric in a completely futuristic way that it really provokes your imagination. Once the album concludes, you're left wondering what you just saw. Its like seeing a really complex and intelligent movie, and you sit there trying to put everything together.
