about

After a hiatus of several years, French synthesist Joël Bernard (aka Awenson) returns to the scene with “Hope”, a 67-minute album of cosmic electronic music with an undeniable "French" twist combined with Berlin School characteristics. The latter applies to the sequencers accompanying the occasional solo voices, warm synth pads and brief parts with abstract sound effects on the five lengthy tracks. Still, Awenson’s approach and sound design remain different and moves slightly out of the ordinary on various places. The energetic “Fly High” makes a highly interesting listen as Joël merges the style of Spyra, Kraftwerk and vintage style spherics while the final track “Opheus” is my personal favourite due its emotive impact as well as expert layering of freeform soundscape textures. Welcome back, Joël.

Overall a very mature, solid and simply EXCELLENT "space music" classic-electronic album. Anyone who liked previous JT albums certainly will also like this one. Sure, most tracks have elements that somehow were 'heard of before', but that is not necessarily bad - this is a highly polished, refined and often improved version. Also the production/audio quality is of very high standard. Thanks Johan, for this gem of an album! :-) Only point of critique: Last 2 tracks are OBVIOUSLY cut off. Martin R
