Free Music Review: Zer0 0ne - oz0ne
Hit: 5 Stars
STYLE
Clean, spacey electronic instrumentals. oz0ne is a bright collection of downtempo synthetics that combine layered melodic lines and phrases with programmed beats and a variety of effects and supporting sounds. Guitar chords, disembodied voices - spoken words or strongly effected songs, manipulated samples. The album conveys a sense of liquid simplicity - with uncluttered arrangements, each sound clear and rhythms unhurried. There are jazzy touches, notably track five Flashback, where a lolling bassline and wah wah chords underpin some distinctly un-spacey keyboard improvisations. Beats are lively and varied across this disc - with no attempt to imitate a live sound - peculiar blips and hits woven among more usual percussives - at times fragmenting or muted - constantly shifting.
MOOD
oz0ne maintains the polished techno downtempo tone set up on previous zer0 0ne albums - pure electronic warmth. There is a strongly computerised mood - programmed structures, electrified effects, digitised voices. The suggestion is one of space age exploration, molecular meandering, cyber travel - at times almost isolationist, the listener left alone with the glow of blinking LEDs and the flicker of screens. The strongly rhythmic content harks back to Berlin synth music - but the style is quite different, less European.
ARTWORK
Coming in a sharp digipack, oz0ne is fronted by a blend of techno-organic imagery and binary digits. The figures 0 and 1 run in a broad band across the left hand side of the cover, overlaying a hexagonal grid that works as a window revealing a cluster of three glowing spheres. On the reverse is a timed tracklist laid out on a similar honeycomb design. Opening out into three section we find an inner display that has a repetition of the tracklist on the left; the disc itself central; thanks, credits and label details on the right.
OVERALL
Zer0 0ne delivers a set of eleven digital wonders that show a clear progression of sound from his three previous releases. Having departed briefly for the release of pSy-fI via Spiralight, Kevin Dooley is back with Waveform once more making this his third album with Forest's US based centre of 'exotic electronica' . The approach is familiar - gentle ambient groove with a computerised, spacey aesthetic - previous fans will not be disappointed with this maturing evolution.
WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM
This vibrant album will suit fans of rhythmic synth music - if you enjoy digital electronica with strident melodies and liquid clarity this might well appeal to you. Why not try the samples on the web site.

ZERO:
That point from which positive or negative qualities are systematically measured: the first of which would be a single unit such as One.
ONE:
Characterized by unity; forming a whole. 01: The basis of all binary digital language.
