http://www.hlava-temple.com/images/moore_cover_big.jpg You may have already heard Steve Moore's work as one-half of the unbelievably awesome prog-rock instrumental duo Zombi, or through his phenomenal first solo-album called "The Henge" (Relapse/Static Caravan, 2007). Now Moore gives us "Demo 2003," a re-issue of his first solo recordings from the turn of the millenium. In contrast to Zombi's tightly structured progressive epics, "Demo 2003" is an exploratory, psychedelic meditation. Over the course of its 10 tracks, including the previously unreleased "Fever Dream", "Demo 2003" explores psychedelic paths through dark atmospheres and drifting harmonies. Smaller in scale than "The Henge," these tracks document Moore's initial fascination with analog synthesizers, focusing more on experimental timbres and droning ambience than on composition or form. This is why this long-player becomes the soundtrack of the mind. It is paranoid, monumental music that hypnotizes the listener with an unholy mix of gloomy, nightmarish, electronic ambiences and the neverending and almighty cosmic beauty.
Limited to 500 copies!

New album Spirit Animal is easily the best thing they've ever done. Better than Cosmos.

I don't think Spirit Animal is as good as Cosmos. But then again... Cosmos was a pretty high benchmark. Maybe I should just listen to it a bit more and see if it grows on me. You know, play twice before listening and all that.

Limited to 1000 copies, Majeure's debut isn't expected to be available too long given that it's a project of Zombi's drummer, A.E. Paterra, and their stuff is so in demand these days. Plus it's totally amazing! More rhythmically focused than the stuff his main band have been doing for the past few years, the three side-long odysseys that make up this double LP eschew the more proggy stop-start stuff in favour of sticking a pin in the sky, focusing on a star and propelling you right the fuck there. He's dropped the horror for a little bit of star gazing.. Although John Carpenter still frequently comes to mind. At various points I'm also reminded of the mint Vangelis tune that plays over the Blade Runner credits, Detroit techno, classic electro, the cosmic disco of prime Cerrone, Moroder etc. etc. Klaus Schulze more than deserves a mention too, especially as Timespan sounds like it could easily pass for one of his album titles. Totally stompin' analogue synth heaven and the best thing I've heard either he or Steve Moore do since their brilliant early releases. And it's all packaged up in a lavish sci-fi themed gatefold sleeve that fits the sounds a treat, comes with an MP3 download code and sports a tasteful geometric etching on the fourth side.

It's like the missing link between Lindstrom and, you know, *real* prog. And it's awesome.
Not as dance-oriented as that review implies, but still awesome. (Take that with a grain of salt, as I didn't hear the dance influence in Black Meteoric Star, either.)
― Strawberry Letter 22 (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 24 October 2009 18:47 (fourteen years ago) link
hehe everything is Lindstrom to you!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 24 October 2009 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I think I might have a new obsession.
But it is pretty Lindstromy, you have to admit. Or rather, Lindstrom and this are exploring pretty similar ground - i.e. the strange hinterland between synth-prog and EDM.

Where the hell did my Vangelis CD go? Could have sworn I got one out this morning.

have you heard the Steve Moore albums? I assume you have all the Zombi.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 24 October 2009 19:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I have all the Zombi, but don't know the Steve Moore.
However, at the moment I am too busy leaping up and down on my bed, striking courageous and adventurous poses while staring off into space and listening to Vangelis. It just has to be done sometimes.

Thank you! I'll listen on Monday as it took me the better part of 5 hours to get that Majeure album. :-(

this amg reviewer http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fbfoxzlkldse~T1 i doubt has actually played the album.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 24 October 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Nah, I'm sure they listened to at least one or two songs. However, being totally unfamiliar with anything referenced within (Goblin, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, etc.) - they just went for the only vaguely proggy sounding reference they could think of.

Well, I'm listening to Henge right now. It seems a lot more PROOOGGGGG than the Majeure album so far. But I'm not out of the introduction yet.

Paterra drums on and produced Gil Mantera's Party Dream's (now going as GMPD) most recent album, Dreamscape. I used to be really into Gil Mantera but I feared that their schtick would have gotten old. I guess they did too because it sounds just different enough to be pretty good.

It's back online!
Zombi6 September 2017 ·
Now that we’ve had a few days to process the loss of the great Walter Becker we'd like to offer, as comic relief, our cover of “Green Earrings.” An outtake from our 2003 'Twilight Sentinel' "sessions." Special Guest Jeff Gretz on auxiliary percussion.

The new Steve Moore album Beloved Exile is good in general but I especially love the last track, “My Time Among the Snake Lords,” and how it shapeshifts seamlessly throughout - I think it might be the longest solo track he’s recorded? I may be wrong.
― blows with the wind donors (crüt), Friday, 18 October 2019 00:14 (four years ago) link
Looks to be about the same as the closing track on The Henge.
I didn't even know he had a new one, thanks for the tip. It's really quite good but not surprising- the quality level of his releases is generally high imo.
