djzen Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Review: Chronos is a project by Moscow-based musician Nick Klimenko who used analog gear and hardware synthesizers exclusively for this recording. Nick’s fifthe album “When Mars Meets Venus” is split in two parts: the first is the factory-pressed cd “Mars” featuring nicely crafted down-tempo electronics, while the second chapter is the cosmic endeavour “Venus”. “Venus” takes off with “Leaving Gaia”, where Mr Klimenko presents a contemporary orchestral/classical work with powerful rhythms and dynamic string arrangements along non-vocal/choir pads. After that, the music makes a profound shift toward majestic, drifting, chill-out outerspace realms: non-rhythmic passages and cinematic soundscapes evolve gradually and to full extend. Personal favourites are the immersive “Star Swimmer” and “Red Planet” beside the slightly groovy and more melodic-oriented “Dark Flame Landing”,“Soaring in Abyss” and “Venus Eyes”. Although the latter reveal a certain sense of movement, they retain a relaxed, otherworldly mood. “When Mars Meets Venus,” comes as a beautifully designed eco-digipack, limited to 300 copies. The download-only version of the “Venus” album will be added for free when one purchases the factory-pressed cd “Mars” or the download-only version of it.
