Pegasus Individual Isolation

Originally recorded in 1993, this CD offers 10 bite sized tracks, the longest clocking in at just under the 9 minute mark. 'The Job' opens with a slightly quirky theme, however the bulk of melodic content is supplied by the sequence which busily weaves its way around the rhythm track. 'The Friends' immediately brings to mind Harold Faltermeyer's 'Axel F' before going off at a tangent and adopting a more laid back stance. Obligatory flutey synth jostles with brass type sounds, and the arrangement is workmanlike rather than inspiring. 'The Love' initially raises the tempo, but it soon slows down again. However, this is an enjoyable piece which interplays piano with synth lines, raising the tempo at intervals allowing bass sequences to flesh out the sound.'The Society' is the longest track and opens with some well a presented ambient noise collage. A few minutes in a sequence starts to develop which unusually takes the track into quite a "funky" direction, complete with more quirky melodics. It's certainly different, but it does sound a bit "weedy" in places. You can't accuse 'The Confusion' of being weedy though. Beefy synth chords and booming sequences combine to produce potent brew, and the classical interludes perhaps explain the title - a bit of schizophrenia? The title track again serves up classical touches with contemporary rhythms, however 'The Falling' is very different and could easily be the soundtrack for the weirder parts of 2001. 'The Prison of Thoughts' serves up a heavy beat and some fine syncopating sequences which support more enjoyable melodies all the better for being picked out with true synth, rather than classical, timbres. 'The Individual Integration' closes and this is another fine uptempo number with drums and sequences aplenty. (GG)
