From the incipit of the title track, the listener is drawn into a dystopian world, where the sun appears faint and hidden behind clouds in a futuristic, sci-fi landscape.
The track’s immersive quality paves the way for the entire release, blending haunting melodies with a sense of vast space.
The second track, Underneath Light, showcases Professor Downfall’s talent for composition. The keyboard-generated brass adds a futuristic touch, while hypnotic piano arpeggios provide a mesmerising undercurrent. This piece stands out for its well-crafted arrangement and unique sonic character.
One of the EP’s highlights, Crucifix Insignia, is a dark, eerie piece that transports listeners to a shadowy parallel universe. The melody is sinister and engaging, capturing an unsettling beauty.
In contrast, Cronos unfolds with a deliberate cadence, evoking the inexorable passage of time. Its soulful melody lingers, suggesting a reflection on life’s fleeting nature.
Diadem introduces a more turbulent energy, reminiscent of an approaching storm. The slightly unpredictable piano lines contribute to a feeling of unease, keeping the listener on edge.
The EP concludes with RW, a track that consolidates Professor Downfall’s signature style, blending atmospheric depth with thoughtful arrangements. It’s a fitting finale to a project that could easily serve as the soundtrack to a sci-fi film, delivering powerful emotions through its compelling compositions.
