Fractional “Blood” (CD/Tympanik Audio)

Review:

		7/10
		Artist: Fractional Title: Blood Format: CD Label: Tympanik Audio Genre: IDM, Industrial Release date: May 17, 2010

Belgium-based Fractional describes his music as “Gothic Erotica“ and “Blood” is his sixth release and first with Tympanik Audio. The album holds 13 tracks and a playtime of about 50 minute.

I think the music is very beautiful and with great rhythms and complex structure to an amazing atmopshere, it’s hard not to like it. In some tracks, like the track “Wo”, you actually got a great melody with a catchy tone that I see falls into the category of being an electropop track pimped with Industrial beats. However, I’m not the guy who like to listen to an album that only includes instrumental tracks, as it attend to get kind of boring in the end.

“Blood” is a good album though and my favorites songs are the more mellow and harmonic songs together with the poppy ones. Another great thing though that I noticed when listening to the album is that every song a forged together which give you the feeling that it’s one long track with shifting sounds and structure during its course.
