Interceptors - Chain D.L.K. 4 1/2 Stars
Review by: Andrea Vercesi
In a two year span Screen Vinyl Image soaked themselves deeper in tons of analogue synthpop and neurotic disco/house basslines. Still there's a shimmering shoegaze root mostly in the use of delays and in the singing parts.The opening track is called “Synthetic Apparition” and it's an trance-inducing instrumental resembling the first Popol-Vuh records played at double speed ( or maybe Popol-Vuh on speed? ) - then we have “Cathode Ray” where you'll hear a simple catchy refrain under layers and layers of distortions. “Slipping Away” is a slow-paced track, imagine Slowdive's aesthetics produced by Adult. “Asteroid Exile” grants goosebumps to everyone into synths – a cold pop gem that will stand as the band's timeless testament. Personal favourite, as you may have noticed. Another standout here is “Until The End Of Time” with a killer postpunk guitar bass. All tracks on Interceptors are quite different but seem to morph into each other like in the most cohesive ambient albums or soundtracks ( John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream are stated among the influences ), a step further from the previous The Midnight Sun EP. Out on their own safranin-sound on a Vinyl/CD combo.
