Comment: Antti Turp aka Kroma`s music is tipped on the
strength of his previous issues of the likes of Otsi mind Merkuurilt (2013, Trash Can Dance) and Siin kus lõpeb Maa (2014,
self-released/Bandcamp). Prince of the
City continues obsessively to search for detailed, elaborated soundscape
though the result eventually will be quite relaxing and soothing. Indeed, the
aspects of creating ambiance are craftily poised with accomplished chord
genesis. Mid-tempo rhythms are merged with glacial-alike sonic glimpses as if
an alien shuttle waiting for a suitable moment to get started from an Arctic ice
glacier into the Outer Space. Indeed, the thought of it is epic and sublime and
Turp`s music supports properly this idea. On the other side, I guess the title hints
rather to the urban environment though I can only imagine the album to be a soundscape
for the sleeping city being lightened by halves. Musically it seems to be
steeped in Kosmische Musik tradition, New Age music, motion picture soundtracks
and slightly fusion and progressive music tinged formulas. By the way, a couple
of compositions are produced by another Estonian electronic music mastermind
called Galaktlan.
