The digital music artist known as
x2Proton has released his newest official LP album, “Outerspace
Odyssey II (Remastered Edition).” The record contains 11 original
tracks spanning a full 55 minutes worth of excellent playing time,
each of them as looming and cosmic as the Milky Way itself. This
remarkable remastered edition of “Outerspace Odyssey II” is full
of 1970s era beeps and bloops, like those that once emitted from the
gigantic, earliest computers, and it is impossible to avoid the
feeling of being inside an archaic space capsule floating through the
universe while listening. X2Proton's “Outerspace Odyssey II” is
clearly one of the most amazing, interesting, engaging and fun works
of digital music to come from the industry in decades.
For an example of dark ambient music,
one could do no better than the remastered edition of “Outerspace
Odyssey II.” It is as magnificent in terms of spaciousness as it is
in terms of eeriness, with an overwhelming feeling of enormity and
emptiness throughout all. X2Proton is a master of persistent echo and
negative presence, making the album something that must be
experienced more than merely listened to. It functions perfectly well
as background listening, but has more than enough meat for an intent
listener to digest from moment to moment.
X2Proton is the brainchild and work of
the famous Laurent Boudic, who has been composing analogue “electro-industrial” music since the 1980s, when the genre first
surfaced in a widespread form. He has powered with his endlessly
creative mind many well-known projects, such as Novo, DeNovo, Genetik
System, and of course, x2Proton, x2Proton being his incarnation for
producing what is known as dark ambient and electronica. Originally
involved with synthetic punk rock music, he switched to more
electronic sounds in order to have more structure in his music. Since
that early time, he has released albums on world-famous electronica
labels such as Germany's PSI49net, headed by the infamous Anthony
Rother, Black Montanas Records in the United States, Canadian-based
Suction Records, and Sony Music's French subdivision, Distance
Records.
“Outerspace Odyssey II (Remastered
Edition)” by x2Proton is available worldwide beginning March 24,
2013.
