Anathe Mal Each song evolves and has so many nuances, you will have a hard time getting a read on the entire album by only listening to one track. hint hint Favorite track: Photon Ring.

Superb album that flows as elegantly as a gradient. In 4 days it will be 13 years old, and it still sounds as fresh like it was released yesterday.

about

After three years of silence, Negative Format is back with a brand new studio album for 2008. Marking a new evolution in Negative Format's sound, Gradients is a refreshing new take on the techno/electro genre. Thematically the album examines the human mind, the dark, the light, and the grays in between through a fusion of musical influences. Delicate pads, intricate beats, beautiful vocals, methodical glitches, epic synths, down tempo rhythms, and floor pounding kicks work in harmony to create an aural experience unlike no other. Highlights on the completely mind-blowing Gradients include the pulse pounding “Hues of Grey,” the epic “Structures And Shadows,” the driving “Origins,” the high energy “Photon Ring,” the groovy “Foundations,” and the somber “Granite.” If it seems that every track on the album is a highlight, well, that's because it is. Gradients clearly stands out as Negative Format's magnum opus.

Whole album is a good balance of slower songs and faster tracks which dominate. Really like "What is wrong" due to it's straight punch line and the awesome instruments arranged along. Thomas.P

As dark and aggressive as it is melodic and reflective, Faderhead hit his stride on Asteria. This album is the real deal. dreaminez

This song paints a vast soundscape in our imagination. It invokes self-reflection into the deep undercurrents of emotions within ourselves. I love it. null_terminated

I think this album had just come out when I discovered Faderhead. Very late to the party but at least I didn't miss it! I was playing this almost non-stop. Your Broken Ghost was my favorite then and still is. Snakedemon and You Can't Sit With Us are also great. Well, all the songs are. Absolutely great album. Emmi
