Hemisphere is the newest project from Greg Price, best known for his work with
Waiting For God, a band he has recently left in order to focus on this album.
Hemisphere is definitely on the edge of the Electronica genre, but which edge
remains to be seen. Tracks like 'Scetch' utilize numerous House elements that
are a definite throwbacks to the mindless Techno of the 1980's, but tracks like
'Spaces' utilizes classic Trance synthesizers alongside caustic breakbeats
reminiscent of modern Drum'n'Bass. Hemisphere seems to be merging the two
disparate worlds of Techno and Intelligent Dance Music into a style all of their
own. At times this amalgamation works well in the case of 'Shape of Things'
with the rippling reverb of its percussion and the acid influences keyboard
rhythms. While tracks like 'Jakk on Trak' are just too weird for words, as the
musical styles become far too jumbled to make sense of the intended direction
of the track. Hemisphere are definitely pioneering some new headspace here, so
it only makes sense that a few tracks won't exactly work properly. Hopefully a
little practice will refine their musical skills and spare us from some of the
chaotic weirdness on this EP.
