Lost Time - Nullptr (Distorted Sensory Perception)

 


Title: Lost Time

Artist: Nullptr

Label: Distorted Sensory Perception

Cat Number: DSP004

Genre: Electro


A1: Adrift

A2: Islands

B1: First Light

B2: Lost Time


If you like your electro bittersweet, wistful and floaty, then this 4 tracker will grant your adjectival three wishes. As deep as you like and emotively top heavy, Eddie Simons’, aka Nullptr, latest will have you as deep in a trance as you like without being under the spell of bullshit. The more linear compositions, like ‘Islands’ and ‘First Light’ are as good as anything I’ve heard from contemporaries like Cignol, Plant43 and Sound Synthesis, each having that layered subtlety and suppressed power that could propel them forever if need be. ‘Adrift’ and ‘Lost Time’ bookend this quartet in a less fluid, but no less moving style, making use of more pronounced beats and bass to further differentiate between darkness and light, the latter being a more solemn, glacial journey. Stunning stuff.
