2nd album from Danish synth-improv duo Videodrones, dives deeper their brand of throbbing synth themes from the goriest movies that never was.

It's easy to hear the starting point of Videodrones: From italian composers such as Fabio Frizzi, Marcello Giombini, Riz Ortolani - or even Morricone & Alessandroni at their most industrial.

But Videodrones adds a touch of previously unheard madness to their Giallo-themed synth-gasms.

Based largely on improvisation, Videodrones tosses and turns - it's like the thing is ALIVE: leaving slimy trail of electronic musical styles in their wake: there's toxic levels of italio disco, german kosmiche musik, new age, even some stabs at holy grails of 70's and 80's pop.

The record culminates in a Synth-proto-doom track - Nattens Hævn (Revenge of the Night).

Videodrones improvisations are far from boring: chopped into smaller bits the album is of a suite-like nature - keeping the odd, jagged energy of improvisation, every part adds to a whole, larger narrative.
