Intriging, eastern-like rhythmic soundscapes
Phil Derby / Wind and Wire –
Even before all this millenium buzz, it seems like a lot of movies and music have had apocalyptic themes. The Second Dawn” takes the end of the world seriously
Paul Rijkens –
Dystopia is a Finnish duo consisting of Pertti Grnholm (synths) and Ismo Virta (guitar). Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Finland and Norway are both countries with long stretched and very lonely parts of land which inspires musicians but the music of Dystopia resembles that of Biosphere.
The music contains a lot of thin and icey sounds. The difference is (happily) that the Fins don’t use dancerhythms and that their music sometimes is more bombastic. An example is is the great track Core Melt”. Just as with Biosphere also frequently voices and atmopheric sounds can be heard. As the cd reaches the end the sounds are getting darker like in the titletrack. Recommendable.

Jehoo!! This CD is good. I know Pertti Grnholm. I even asked him to give his autograph to my Dystopia – CD and he gave. 😀
