   Ren Splinter had reached another level with Modern Ruins where he surrounded his melodies, the man is very melodious we have to give him that, by atmospheres which sometimes bound themselves with surrealism. And it’s with pleasure that he continues in this vein with his last album Frames. Always proud ambassador of the Franke, Froese and Schmoelling era, Ren Splinter navigates on the concept of the harmonies so well made by the mythical trio on solid structures which was so much energizing than the melodies were attractive. You will hear throughout Frames these sonic ingredients which have peppered the structures of the Dream; shady and shaken sequences beating and pounding around melodies fragmented in cocoons in continual permutations. But more rhythmic than purely electronic, Ren Splinter extirpates here, and again and again, more the essence of a Johannes Schmoelling than the acrobatic patterns of rhythms from his two famous accomplices. Even that sometimes the illusion is more than perfect.

   And that starts with Celluloid Skyline” and its superb opening coated by good rubbery bass drums and wooden percussions which peck at thin lines of sound smokes and heterogeneous noises
