REZENSION
MORPHEUS MUSIC (GB) schreibt u.a.: -".Aktionsreiche High End Electronica in der Tradition der Berliner Schule." -".Dieses neue Mythos Album füllt Dein Kopfuniversum von einem Ende bis zum anderen - stets die Aufmerksamkeit fordernd - Musik in der Offensive." -".dramatische, mitreissende Kompositionen voller Energie und akustischem Feinschliff." -".radikal synthetisch und gleichzeitig voller Gefühl und theatralischer Pracht." Hier der vollständige Text: Morpheus Music (GB) STYLE Lively high end electronica in the German Berlin-school tradition. Mythos presents here an album aimed at showing just what electronic music can sound like when making full use of the technology currently available. Full surround sound recording is used to establish a rich spatial arena with crystal clarity and dynamic acoustic effects. The Mythos sound is well suited to this approach - bright synthesiser themes and sequential patterns dance with luminous warmth, multi-layered, deftly crafted, melodic; airy effects swish and swirl throughout the soundscape; stirring programmed beats littered with variously manipulated hits, blips, splashes and zaps drive the music energetically forward. Kaske weaves the odd snatch of vocal ephemera into the mix - tribal chants or strongly effected speech, choral swells building the intensity to fever pitch. This latest Mythos album fills your headspace from end to end - demanding your attention - music on the offensive. MOOD The mood of Surround Sound Offensive is in keeping with the title - dramatic, stirring compositions full of energy and aural detail. The European heritage shines brightly - this is music of the machines bent toward their futurist potential - unashamedly synthetic whilst at the same time full of feeling and theatrical grandeur. ARTWORK Arriving in a slimline jewel case the artwork is uncomplicated and eye catching. A strong yellow sun-burst fronts the package. Sharp black lettering presenting the title and between the lines a pithy explanation of the intent of the album. Inside is a timed tracklist and German language discussion of the project in greater detail. For English speaking fans the insert opens out to reveal the relevant information in English. OVERALL This latest Mythos release is presented as the first in a new series of Mythos albums "offensively and consequently custom-made, matched and fine-tuned to YOUR wishes right from the start of the composition". In other words the artist Stephan Kaske is aiming to satisfy the desires of synth fans that are not content with mp3 quality sound or even common CD quality - Stephan explaining "the multiple psycoacoustic effects, binaural dummy head recordings and numerous surround elements appear and work best with the equipment adjusted to DOLBY PRO LOGIC (TM). We choose this format because the vast majority of fans have it available in their hi-fi systems, cars and home cinemas. It is also, of course, totally stereo compatible; many spacious events are already impressively effective in stereo". Eleven tracks in all make up this releases - the latest in an impressive Mythos discography that dates back into the early nineteen seventies! WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM Mythos is building on the colourful tradition of electronic music that the project has pioneered since the early days. This is an album for musical technophiles especially, but will doubtless appeal to all fans of the genre that enjoy the more energetic end of the Berlin-school. (Morpheus Music (GB))

CD des Monats / music transformation (D) Die neue CD von Stephan Kaske aus Berlin ist soeben erschienen. Wir konnten uns von der hervorragenden Soundqualitaet des neuen Albums ueberzeugen. Unter dem Titel "Surround Sound Offensive" veroeffentlicht er unter dem Projektnamen "Mythos" wieder einmal ein meisterhaftes Album. Aber nicht nur der Surround-Sound begeistert; die Musik ist wie auf den Vorgaenger-Alben "Kamasutra", Edgar Allan Poe" und "Mysteria" sehr eingaengig und dynamisch. Die Alben gehoeren fuer mich zu den besten der elektronischen Musik, wobei Stephan einen ganz eigenen Stil verfolgt. (music-transformation (D))
