Some very good stuff on here in my opinion, one of my favorite albums.
'Progress is over' starts it off with a nice heavy guitar track, before moving on to the Reggae/Dub of 'Human Blitz'. 'Beyond The Swamp' features some nice slide and solo in a G tuning, whilst 'Genetic Machines' has a Disco drum track!!
Then there is the epic 11 minute 'We Survive' with a host of different guitar sounds and it's all wrapped up with the atmospheric 'Open Skies'.

The 3rd 'Zephanie & The Oblivions' album, made around Halloween 2009 (hence the horror theme).
I try for a 60's Garage/Psych/Surf sound on the Oblivions albums, a music I love. This horror themed album features sound clips from 50's/60's Sclock Horror films and a host of 60's style music!!

(the) Return To Earth (e.p.).....


Zephanie Oblivion
(the) Return To earth (e.p.)
2010
(45:46)

Tracklist

01. Think Fast.
02. Think Again.
03. Before The Rain.
04. After The Rain.
05. Protection.
06. Destruction.
07. Hype.
08. Hyper.

Only really 4 tracks on this one but each has a remix making 8 in all.

'Think Fast', 'Think Again'. Quite a slow number with some nice guitar harmonics whilst the remix has some fine heavy drums.

'Before The Rain', After The Rain'. A guitar "Freak Out", sometimes you just got to let go!!! The remix brings more of the keyboards out into the light.

'Protection', 'Destruction'. More a straight foward rockin' number with a nice guitar melody. The remix shows the dark side lurking in this track.

'Hype', 'Hyper'. Sort of "Blues Rock" with some slide and backwards guitars. The remix features some really loud ugly Disco drums!!!

Destiny Days.....


Zephanie Oblivion
Destiny Days
2008
(41:20)

Tracklist

01. Destiny Days.
02. Killing Wave.
03. Badlands.
04. Half Dust.
05. Fear Itself.
06. No Logic.
07. November Blues.
08. Two Tousand And One.
09. Voices.
10. Pilgrim's Lament.
11. Sudden Impulse.
12. When The Earth Died.

Recorded in November 2008, i know this because the track 'November blues' was recorded as a tribute to the American elections. Another American connection appears in the track 'Fear Itself'.

Favorite tracks are 'Voices', with it's backwards guitars, and the minor key 'Pilgrim's Lament' which i can't even remember recording, but it's a fine track.

Fade-Out.....


Zephanie Oblivion
Fade-Out
2009
(68:48)

Tracklist

01. Magnetic Fields.
02. Harmonic 241.
03. Deep Space.
04. Beyond The Void.
05. Lifeform.
06. Solar Pulse.
07. Dreamer.
08. God Speed.
09. Monolith.
10. Sunspots.
11. Silver Sparkles.
12. Fade-Out.

Something a bit different here, i was trying out fitting found vocals and sounds into my tracks. I think it mostly works, especially on the tracks 'Dreamer', 'Solar Pulse' and the 14 minute 'Fade-Out' (a bit of an epic).

Also the beats are a bit more "contemporary" (whatever that means), in fact the whole album is more dancey than usual, more on the psychedelicy house side, i like it. (still has lots of guitars though).

Seeds Of Time.....


Zephanie Oblivion
Seeds Of Time

07. Future Blues.
08. Cronos II.
09. The Second Hand.
10. The Minute Hand.
11. The Hour Hand.
12. The End Times.

A sort of concept album on the theme of, yes, you guessed it, time. This is a very early set, in fact only the third album i recorded, sometime in early 2008.

Favorite tracks? 'Time Present' with it's choppy beat, 'Endless Tomorrows', a nice relaxing track with slide guitar and piano and 'The Minute Hand', synths and wah guitar.

Dark Fire.....



Zephanie Oblivion

Dark Fire

2010

(66:13)

Tracklist

01. Streets Of Hell.
02. Dark Fire I (Exile).

07. Dark Fire II (Revelation).
08. The Palace Of Sin.
09. The Accused.
10. The New Requiem.
11. Dark Fire III (Home).
12. Extinction.

Quite a strange album this one, from the strings of 'East Indian Voyager' to the slide guitar of 'Cross Of Gold' it's quite varied. I especially like the punishing 'Heat' with it's manic drums and a nice tempo change.

Also the 3 part 'Dark Fire' i think are good tracks, some strange sounds on there, part II especially. All in all an enjoyable listen.

10. Far From Morning.
11. Darkness Is No Friend.
12. Open The Box.

As the title implies i think this is quite a dark album, the sound is quite dense in places and there is some nice dark keyboard parts, as on the tracks 'Dark Times' and 'Darkness Is No Friend'.
