This album is a one-man operation with Dave Schoepke providing both drums and synthesizers. It’s instrumental music that leans toward space and experimental territory. As you can imagine, it’s quite percussive, but it has more going on than that. This isn’t the kind of music that’s all that well suited to track by track reviews, but that’s how we do them at MSJ, so it’s what I’ve done.

Percussive, experimental and rather techno-like as it gets going, this is intriguing stuff. It doesn’t wander far from its origins, but it delivers some great vibes.

Even more percussive and trippy, there is a sense of mystery and danger to this.

This feels like it might fit in a film soundtrack. It is percussive, classy and intriguing. It does turn more toward space later.

I really love the spacey vibes on this track so much. There is a really creepy edge to it.

Trippy atmospherics combine well with percussion here. This isn’t a huge change, but it is unique.

While there are no paradigm shifts here, this has a bit of a world music vibe to it.

This is trippy and very cool. It’s more industrial than purely percussive or even spacey. That said, there are still elements of both of those things at play here.

The blend of percussion and spacey atmospherics on this works well. At nearly eleven minutes of music, this is the epic of the set.
