Review

Ace sound synthesist Ian Boddy is back again with a couple of themed sound packages.

Inspired by the old-school sound design antics of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Ian Boddy's Radiophonica takes us back to a time when Dr Who still had some semblance of geek chic and the ring modulator ruled the sci-fi roost.

ARC is the name under which the two well known British synth artists, Ian Boddy and Mark Shreeve, collaborate. It's an interesting musical combination - Ian Boddy runs the DiN label which turns out contemporary electronica and has released several solo and collaborative albums; Mark Shreeve has also released solo albums and has been involved with Redshift (which he founded) in retro '70s style (think Tangerine Dream) synth music. Blaze is ARC's third album, being not too dissimilar from Radio Sputnik in the overall feel.

Selected Review Quotes for DiN26

"...So, I think it's Parallel Worlds' best album to date! Some great sounds they made, sometimes reminding of Japan (the group), sometimes even reminding of the great Isao Tomita!"

2007. Roel Steverink / The Netherlands

"...What an album! File under 'God Knows' or 'Genius', both would be applicable. Truly unique and Very Highly Recommended to anyone who wants to try something that is new but also accessible. "

2007. Dave Law / SMD
