The artist behind FSP is Marcus Engels and after the marvellous CD
single "Substance" the anticipation is very high for this 6 track
offering which was recorded between June and August 1996. All the
tracks are prefixed "Impulse" and "The Closening" opens exactly
where "Substance" left off with upbeat sequencing and genuinely
strong melodic themes. The track lasts almost 10 minutes and the
first 7 of dominated by electronic rhythms and searing synths. Then
the mood changes as poignant chords are overlaid by piano refrains
underlining the versatility available here. "The Nightmare" presents
luscious synth pads before embarking on another top notch sequential
outing. Searing synth stabs punctuate the sound before an ambient
interlude gives the piece chance to gather itself and initiate
another sequenced assault. Again a superb lead motif appears to grab
the attention and keep the track moving right to the last note. Bass
sequencing is obviously a forte of FSP and this is amply
demonstrated on "The Chase". Compositionally it's a delightful
collection of fairly disparate elements which together form a
cohesive package. The sequence sections do bring to mind an ôin
formö Chris Franke - "The Park is Mine" sort of album. Sombre piano
heralds "The Opening" then out of nowhere a ballistic sequence forms
and develops the track backed by a steady bass beat. Raw synth and
choral vox add texture but again pride of place goes to the
sequencing which mutates brilliantly in the background before being
left in isolation for a glorious section. "The Relief" presents some
classic synth sounds and before long an equally classic racey
sequence. Neat percussion sharpens the focus while silken refrains
are utilised to close the piece. Finally "The Closening Part 2"
rides on infectious pulsations and breathey synths. Again the
technique of leaving each element plenty elbow room works a treat,
creating a transparent and dynamic experience Make no mistake this
is a classy album crafted with an assured air. Sequencer fans will
find this essential material, and melody is not short in supply
either. All in all it's a winning formula. (GG)
