"The 8th Nerve" showcases Gerd Wienekamp and Frank Specht doing what they do best, mixing retro and modern synth elements with ease. âAudioframeâ starts with a slow tempo and keeps it going, nothing fancy but it works well. âMindmachineâ is a very typical sound for them with a catchy beat and sequencer, although it runs a tad long. A few tracks fall into this category, but then again, some may want to just chill and get hypnotized by each groove. âN-Tropicalâ is full of bubbly energy, the tight bass and sequencing sounding like recent upbeat output by Ian Boddy. âEdge of Realityâ starts as floating ambient and ends with tribal rhythms. âThird Earâ has great variety, starting with a synth-based acoustic guitar lead line. This stops abruptly and moves into a mellow string section with various cool sound effects. Then it kicks up a notch with synths and sequencing sounding a lot like Tangerine Dream from around 1981âs /Exit/ album. The acoustic guitar lead resumes, a nice counterpoint to the synth sounds. Also very good are mellow atmospheric numbers such as âPlanet Audioâ and âWinterlandschaft,â both starting as relatively formless ambient selections that evolve into softly undulating rhythms and gentle soothing electronics. âRetropolisâ has a jamming keyboard riff that cooks right along. âPibgornâ is mostly about the beats, with ethnic synth touches. /The 8th Nerve/ gets progressively stronger, culminating in the excellent grooves of âSee â Not Have,â a laid-back satisfying melodic closer, followed by the dark epilogue âNoosphere.â
