Poetic, crystalline, elegant - "Sentient" is a perfect complement to "Escape...", focusing a bit more on rhythmic exploration. It may feel less painterly and more ascetic in the process (e.g. tracks like "Activate"), but if you stay tuned there's plenty of the cathartic synthwork and conceptual depth that made Oscillian a go-to act for me. Add vocal banger "The Brightest Cry" and a Blade Runner-esque "Coda" and you're in for a ride. x0riente
The Evolution Of Complexity explore une fois de plus le style du "cyberpunk retroism" mais l'atmosphère générale est toute autre par rapport à Form Dictates Function. Non seulement elle est plus spatiale et fabuleuse ("This Is Where We'll Remain") mais elle tente d'atteindre une humanité : désireux d'exploiter cette fameuse complexité, Holon fait passer ses rythmes electro pour de la batterie faite sur un drumkit (on s'y croirait presque sur "Pillars Of Creation"). Peut-être son plus bel album ! Jordan Vauvert
