Opus Vinyl & CDs

Review: You better buckle yourself in before getting stuck into the first release from the new Opus label because it is a high-octane techno affair. It does with a note that the label is about "synergy between art and electronic music, where every stroke of the brush and every sonic pulse are meticulously orchestrated to create an immersive journey." And these sure are tracks to sink into from Sept: 'Timeless Exploration' is a punchy trip to the cosmos with lots of wispy synth details, 'Questions Without Answers' bangs the box a little more and 'Constant Movement' then hurries along with scruffy kicks and urgent synth pulses adding to the tension. Finally, 'Stuck In The Parallel Universe' is another heady and physical blend of 90s techno.
