Tim Cooke returns with a new Opacity Bleak album. "NAD" is a continuation of his excellent "Silicon" LP, thriving on the foundations laid by its predecessor and expanding even further the sonic palette presented there. The beats are broken, the club feels deconstructed, the ambience is often disrupted and the synths flow on the cinematic wave alongside deep bass. Opacity Bleak's compositions are nested somewhere between traditional electronic music and more conceptual sound design, and could easily serve as a soundtrack to an imaginary "Interstellar meets Alien" movie. See "Anything Goes" or "Till Luck Runs Out" for example, orbiting at the intersection of territories occupied by Lorn, Ben Frost and SURVIVE, sort of like a dark and evil bastard child of those three. I would LOVE to hear this album live on a good soundsystem. Recommended.
