Panoramic - Colorsound by The Creative Technology Consortium {CtC}

Marking the 300th release on Dark Entries, this appropriately majestic and monumental project hits the mark perfectly. Three friends (Traxx, Andrew Bisenius and Jason Letkiewicz) calling themselves The Creative Technology Consortium, have compiled (in alphabetical order!) a 25 track album, with little filler. Made during lockdown, and with a loose theme of film and television music of the 80’s/90’s tying tracks together, there's an awful lot to like in the two hour playing time with guitars, phat Electro chords, Krautrock rhythms, first-rate drum programming, precision percussion, funky bass and, largely, no shortage of melody. Heavy consumption but repeat listens pay off.
