Beyond The Mirror's Imagew

 Since a few years Tom McDowell released under his project Dream Division a few albums filled with analogue synthesizer sounds. His latest from 2019 Transcend was one of my favorites last year because he created a unique sound that I listened often to. Now he is back with a new album that will be released at the end of this month. It seems that he is focused now in movie scores. The songs I heard reminds my on old Italian horror movies or the soundtracks by John Carpenter. The sound continues McDowell’s characteristic analogue synth soundscape sound, but with the added bonus of beats driving the rhythms and the occasional heavy guitar sounds.

Interplanetary Mind Travel

One of the most obscure albums this year was released by Dream Division, the stage name of London based producer Tom McDowell and named Transcend. It is a weird travel into space like seldom before. McDowell invites us with his soundtracks that could work on various horror movies by John Carpenter to follow his way. Not the usual way I go but a sound I couldn't detract from and it was a a complete record I used to play various times during the last days. If you will name an album spaced out this year this will be one of those you can name.
