REDSHIFT [prog elec]

Progressive Electronic • United Kingdom


Electronic music (or the "EM factor"), which bases its major structure from the Berlin-school high classic achievement and, mostly, from the typical grandly considered artists of the genre, such as TANGERINE DREAM, SCHULZE and ASHRA, continues a long way into the modern and contemporary phase (and distractions), with a lot of particular changes and new-waves, but mostly with a good definition of synthesizing and ambientizing spiriting up the electronic art and also with solid attitudes of music and composition, that resemble the most evolved, persistant or popular adapted such electronic definitions. REDSHIFT can be considered, with all its Berlin-synthasy, neo-sound and dark ambiance, a band of modern sound and high common groove, having, nevertheless, a deep dish of influences and music arrangements, within the classic or modified electronic ideas and movements. 

The founder of REDSHIFT is Mark Shreeve, who in the mid-90s invited Julian Shreeve, Rob Jenkins and James Goddard to a full-adrenaline work of electronic modern sound music and art. Mark Shreeve was already famous by some succesful films scores, plus by a lot of late 80s typical solo projects, filled with ambience and with a sound of strange complexity. The band's sound evolved to use the analogue basic characters with a lot of combined digitality and tech-effects. A lot of live and studio works (done under healthy dreams of discovering and improving/improvising) managed to pull REDSHIFT into popular charts, but also into the experienced and relatively profound EM art spot. Much of the solid sequence, synth and sampling efforts lead to full Berlin-school impressions, though REDSHIFT also compared a lot of modern shrieks and new electronic values. The more progressive nuances arrive when all the influence can include some heavier elements by SCHULZE (instead of some NEU-rock and "kraft" tonalities) or some guitar-work, much like PINK FLOYD in a marooned way.
