Robert Reed has this ability to combine the minimalist sound of a Jean-Michel Jarre with that of a bombastic Vangelis, new-wave keyboards from OMD or Ultravox; symphonic arias form the basis of its titles and evoke the genesis and destruction of humanity. He brings with this album two distinct sides, on the one hand the immersion of childhood electronic groups, on the other the retranslation of songs and arias that are no longer heard but still spinning in our heads. He is in fact a musical alchemist who at first puzzles us, very quickly melted in front of this delicious crucible.
