DON'T OPEN TILL DOOMSDAY
debut album from Alien Skin
"Do you believe in heaven above, Do you believe in love?"
sing Real Life in the smash 80's classic Send Me An Angel.
Now Alien Skin, aka George Pappas, long time keyboardist
with the renowned Australian band, has finally released his debut
album. He doesn't attempt to answer the puzzle but creates
his own universe in Don't Open Till Doomsday.
The 10 songs here present an atmosphere of introspective electronic
melancholia. Infectious melodies underpin the dark, gothic
ambience which is often sparse and minimal, at times opening up
to a lush hit of light that lures you forward.
With subject matter ranging from estranged sci-fi
love, to Jacob's Ladder, to Hiroshima, the music confirms a solemn
monochrome world outside. It's best listened to and savoured as
a whole.
Don't Open Till Doomsday is music for astronauts,
aliens and all marginal beings living at the frontiers.
Friends of Martin Gore and Depeche Mode would not
feel unwelcome here.
So, what exactly does the album sound like? Close your eyes and
have a listen!
