In my years as a music aficionado, I have met many electronic music composers and producers who pack powerful punches with their sound, but few have left the lasting impression Phlux Ascent has. Electronic music composers are abundant, but Phlux Ascent stands distinctively apart. In the realm of music, it has come to my realization that his talents transcend the music. This is nothing like you’re accustomed to; it has been ingeniously tapped with punctilious and experimental dexterity alike to come with a sound veered towards a cinematic allure and emotional gratification. Each song is a story guaranteed to stir your emotions and evoke some strong feelings while you’re being transported to different realms.
And you know, in the realm of music, so many artists often strive to weave a tapestry of emotions, experiences, and thoughts through their music, but not this accomplished producer who does so with such remarkable dexterity.
His latest full-length album, “The Grandest of Games” is here, and it is perfect; each track carries a distinct thematic essence that resonates with listeners on various levels. Each song here is a story that seamlessly transitions into the next without the album losing its authenticity, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is high-caliber showmanship!
Music is far more than just entertainment; it has the power to uplift, empower, and inspire. Music can be both profound and exhilarating. It is quite impressive, therefore, that a full-length project can encompass all of these qualities as “The Grandest of Games” does.
Phlux Ascent showcases his boundless capabilities to connect with an indescribably immersive genre of music and thus reach a wide audience. It is always exceptional when an album inspires deep thoughts, evokes strong emotions, and leaves you with something to reflect on long after the final notes have disappeared. “The Grandest of Games” is this and so much more.
“Paragajisnu” is a cinematic piece that’s grand in scope and expressive in its execution. The horror-like vocal effects make it the perfect soundtrack for a blockbuster horror film!
“Simulacrum” is short and expressive, characterized by its spatial intimacy and intricate arrangement, managing to balance its moments of majestic grandeur and delicate introspection appealingly.
“Vestige of the Arundenien” is like a musical maze, taking you on this ride in search of new discoveries. This track diverges into uncharted territories with such poise and elegance, taking the listener with him as they experience what it is like to get lost and still savor it.
“Samnyasa” features some poundingly powerful kicks that mirror an action-like film moment, allowing you to feel the intensity exuded from a musical narrative that echoes the determination, the pulse-pounding moments, and the electrifying energy of that very moment!
“The Horse and The Rider” unfurls with a vibrant rollicking energy that is as uncontainable as it is memorable. The melodic arrangement carries an enchanting allure that paints vivid pictures of adventure through various landscapes.
“In Everything, Nothing” blends cyberpunk spirit with the chase of Synthwave. As the music accelerates, it carries us through a neon universe where every note paints a different shade of the night and the robotic vocals warn of an incoming threat.
Music enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate what Phlux offers here. This is an album that has been superbly executed, exquisitely produced, and lovingly arranged…what more could you possibly want?
