Voide - Evolution

23:17 - March 20, 2008

by Spherix

Swedish electro artist 'Voide' is out with a brand new album. Did we like it? Tune in and read our thoughts!

Since the mid 80’s the Swedish musician David Almgren has been around the music scene leaving a long trail of tracks behind him. In 2006, after taking some time away from the music, David created the project Voide. Heavily influenced by acts like Kraftwerk, Yello and Depeche Mode he released his very first album entitled ‘Space Sponge’ in March 2007.

After a year of music making David is now once again back, this time with the album ‘Evolution’.

Tracklist:
01. Evolution
02. Supercharge
03. Dream Machine
04. R-evolution
05. Miss You
06. Computer Nation
07. Elevator Bossabot
08. Motivator
09. Sonic Mind Probe
10. Tribute to CZ5000
11. The Core

The first track out is ’Evolution’ which is one of the more progressive tracks with a steady beat and smooth strings combined with some more straggling elements that directly sets a futuristic theme to the album, a theme which prevails throughout the whole CD. The third track ‘R-Evolution’ is in the same style as the opening one and almost feels like an extension of it. Simply put, a great track with some cool and distorted acid lines. The track in between these two progressive tracks is a pure and electronic breakbeat production entitled ‘Supercharge’ which contains some pure synthesized pieces. It’s a cool experimental production but from time to time it feels like he is trying to do too much. Sadly the same phenomenon exists in other tracks in the album, for example, in the track ‘Motivator’. Sometimes it can be hard to feel when enough is enough.
Although, I shouldn’t be too hard on the track ‘Motivator’. For the most parts it’s a good production that gives us some more rhythmic sounds in an electronica type of way. It’s exciting and feels fresh with some scratching effects and some purely experimental work which unfortunately becomes little too over worked. A song one should definitely watch out for is the sixth track with the name ‘Computer Nation’. The album is often pretty dark and moody but this one is a very happy production with a rhythmic and melodic sound that, together with some robotic vocal works, build up a massive unit that resembles the early 80s synthesizer music. Great track!

The tenth track is a tribute to the Casio synthesizer CZ-5000 which is often used in industrial and electro types of music. The track is in the same upbeat style as ‘Computer Nation’ which brings you up after some rather heavy music. I must say that throughout the album David has mixed the moody and upbeat tracks very well.
After the tribute track the grand finale kicks in under the name ‘The Core’. It’s a good electro production with a mellow atmosphere with some hints of dark sprawling attacks which rounds off the album in a very good way.

Conclusion:
For most parts it’s a good production with some highs and some lows which one can expect. David has given us some experimental and independent work wrapped up in a fresh futuristic packaging. The robotic vocals and some of the pure electro sounds combined with some more progressive work are turning out to be a very good mixture. Even though the CD often is pretty dark and moody it can from time to time enlighten your day with some more easygoing tracks. It’s a wide variety of music that we are treated to and also an exciting journey.

My final grade on this one is:
7/10
