"HIDDEN VIBRATIONS"
Hidden Vibrations is a special release. A paused whisper that impresses the listener. Most of this work is found within a Space Music line, where there is rhythm yet very calm, very contained. Distorted voices, sequences, bass passages are found in plenty... yet combined in such a delicate way that they hardly dominate over one another, so that in the end, what is perceived in a clearest way is their harmony, their complementary nature. Thus a dense ambience is created, without becoming oppressive, throughout which sensations of a certain strain and disquiet flow. In this sense, the climax is reached with Exploring Mountains and Behind the walls, where all the elements of the composition are equally fundamental. On the other hand, the piece called "Silver" breaks the general dynamics of the album, as in its sounds the listener can appreciate traits from the techno pop of the eighties, though these are utilized in a very personal manner. Rey has constructed with all these aspects a very elaborate work of a style that cannot be easily comparable to other existing ones.
