SynoP – 77 Bombers (2014)

cover

Making its way from The Netherlands, one man Ambient/Neo-classical project SynoP brings us their fourth release titled “77 Bombers”. Inspired by some paintings of crashed 77 bombers, this release is a cinematic experience that is better enjoyed when watching the video the artist crated of the paintings found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbI5dsnhZz4). For 13 tracks we get a very healthy mix of Ambient with Minimalist touches, spoken word sections, and some very moving Neo-classical passages.

The album instantly opens with the title track, a song that features some airplane sounds before it creates some cavernous atmospheric passages. As the release progresses, we are left with plenty of scattered pieces here and there in tracks like “Rumble in the sky”, “Endless view”, “Dark clouds over Europe”, all of the helping to create a very hypnotic vibe and furthering the mistery behind “77 Bombers”.

With a highly minimalist approach to things, other Neo-classical pieces like “Alina fuerht”, “Escape to nowhere” create a very unique and martial atmosphere. It is quite evident that the music is very carefully thought out and that SynoP is very proficient in creating suspense and building up to it. Our favorite track in this release is the very dramatic “Cold Season”, a masterfully crafted piece that is very emotional and bleak.

Closing with “When the rain is gone”, one gets a sense of closure in this release. All tracks slowly build up and create a very cohesive all-around experience. While we understand that this type of music is not for everybody and for certain moods, if you are feeling a bit adventurous, go and check “77 Bombers” out, you will be surprised when you find elements that will appeal to you.
