Who: Fugue State
What: Daydream Believer
Style: electronic/ambient/experimental
When I got this in my email last week, I have to admit I cringed at the album title, and my wife pointed and laughed. But really, the music is pretty good, much better than the album title
The music is composed by Kevin Breidenbach in energyXT and a lot of plugins. The sounds he creates for these tracks are great, but the arrangements unfortunately don’t take you anywhere. Daydream Believer is a collection of songs that didn’t fit with Kevin’s other work, the styles vary from ambient to IDM, I have a feeling that they were composed over a period of a few years, because they don’t all fit together in to an album well. The tracks I liked most were Sex, Guns & Caffeine, because it has a bit of a Skinny Puppy feel, and Fixate, which was relaxing but also had a head bobbing beat.
