Like a musical evolutionary tale unfolding before your eyes and ears, so too does Lost In Translation’s debut release titled Anthroposcene morph and twist, with each artist’s contribution drawing inspiration from, and manipulating elements of the prior. Or as the label puts, “The album was built track by track, providing a space for the featured artists to bounce off of each other’s sonic influences, and weave together a cohesive musical story told from studios around the world.

Leading off the release, the proverbial seeds if you will of the album, are Saphileaum’s airy musings, like a morning mist upon a forest lake, the air alive with flashes of life. Each flash solidifying into an outline of the groove filled Moon Patrol offering, giving a steady rhythmic heartbeat with each hit of the kick. Building on and accentuating the accompanying pads and melody brings us to Alfred Czital’s second scene of our first act, switching up things slightly by heading more into the breaks realm.

As the curtain falls on Czital, we come to our premiere for today and the second act of Anthroposcene, provided by Human Space Machine. Rising melodies start the show, as driving percussion accompanies after a brief pause at the start. Layering and layering as more time goes on, the pads building to a sense of purpose, and tension without being overt.

Anthroposcene in its entirety will be out on December 6th, with additional fantastic contributions by Owl, Orca Silent, and Martinou rounding out the stacked release.
