Comment: KUNI (not to be confused with a Japanese hard rock guitarist) provides a variety of house, New Age, reverberations of ethnic music, psy-related vibes and something else more (which is stylistically enough crossed and littered to be not allowed to describe it more precisely) on Digital Diamonds imprint. Loosely it can be tagged progressive house though the impact must be pointed to the word "loosely". Benefiting the artist the soundscape of this 13-notch issue is vertically as deep as horizontally by providing bottomless ominous frequencies and sophisticated and mostly serene upper layers. At times such sort of ideals do fail because an artist's desired ambition to create simultaneously positively magniloquent and suggestive impulses do not magnify each other but interacting with one another by gnawing a possible synergistic set. It catches the listener's attention from the beginning to the very end. In the context of the issue the word "progressive" does mean technical in conjunction with the moody nature of the album. Kicking drums, slightly warped harmonies, profound echoes and poignant effects set up a fine party in a listener's head.
