"Star Wreck" by Progenitor (Electronica Band from Texas (TX))

Trance-inducing is perhaps the best term that describes the electronica collection "Star Wreck" by Progenitor. Drawing a lot of influence from the experimental genre, these songs are unpredictable, making them refreshingly unique. From start to finish, "Star Wreck" employs the use of unfamiliar sounds in a way that is unique and creative, to say the least. The defining drum tracks in songs like "Deep End" take the center stage in most of these tunes. Moreover, the production of this CD allows all focus to be on the music alone, which is what many consider 'successful.' "Star Wreck" by Progenitor is a great electronica album that will fulfill the music desires of anyone who enjoy tunes with great creativity and pleasant surprises.

"Aethersound" by Aether (Electronica Band from Ohio (OH))

Aether's "Aethersound" is a mood-invoking collection of amazingly arranged Indielectronica tunes. From beginning to end, this album simply captivates. The guitar licks and drum arrangements are very catchy, and the band is tight. Moreover, the vocals on this CD are soothing, rich, and full of vibrant tone. Creative lyrics further add to the appeal of "Aethersound." Perhaps most importantly, the production on this album is nothing short of amazing. It achieves the perfect balance between rich, captivating guitar tones and outstanding vocals, allowing every song to pull the listener into a trance. This is perfectly demonstrated in the atmospheric "Alabaster." Simply put, this CD is joy and emotion wrapped up in the form of sound waves. It is a must-have for those who enjoy music that is full of strong attitude and high energy!
