Alec Ness is a talented producer based in the Twin cities. Lemme start by saying this is an excellent and unique body of work, and is most definitely worth the listen. Each track brings its own powerful energy that courses through you, and incites emotion. Each sound intentional and each transition seamless. It reminds me of controlled chaos. There are many abrasive noises present in the album, that when listened to separately, may agitate you, but when listened to in these compositions, sound amazing. Fitting together like a puzzle piece. Not to say it is rough around the edges at all, it is very smooth and polished. Has a very dreamlike ambiance all the way through. Well balanced with softer tones, reverb, and more rigid sounds. When you get to the song, Temporary Awareness of Passing, it really starts to feel like you have been taken on a journey, a page in the chapter is turning, and you almost forget what you were listening to until it abruptly ends. Followed by the song, Violated Time, which starts slow but then bursts into an experience that virtually transports you to a dance floor. After which is followed by the track, Barrier Theme, which creeps up your chest like an acid come up. You anticipate something epic approaching as the vibrations literally feel as if they are lifting you up. Right as you are about to get to the climax, it fades off. I Truly love the unpredictability of this album. It captivates you and pulls you along, you have no choice but to listen to the whole piece. It is almost unsatisfying otherwise. Interactive until the end. Listening to the song Terrace, which he released as a single off of the album, I felt as if I were inside of the game Need For Speed (the best racing game ever made, dont @ me). At moments I felt like I could hear some similarities to Ratatat, back in the Kid Cudi days, but maybe I was just high. But overall super cool, loved listening, and we will definitely be looking out for more work by Alec Ness.
