Pax is one of the newest side projects of Sevren N-Arb of X Marks the Pedwalk
and Heiko Daniel of Eco. However, unlike many recent Sevren projects, Pax is
amazingly bereft of the Techno nonsense that he has been writing lately.
Instead Pax focuses more on the Electro side of the world, albeit a little on
the minimalistic and thoroughally undancable side. In fact out of the nine
tracks present, only one 'Aboriginal' is fast enough to catch the attention of
a club DJ. The rest of the music focuses more on the textures and soundscapes
rather than upbeat percussion and groovability. As a result many of the tracks
are very similar in vein to early XMTP material which was more experimental in
nature even if they are better produced. Ultimately, Pax is a light-hearted
band sharing more in common with Synth-Pop and early EBM than with the current
breed of Industrial dance music making the rounds. Yet, Sevren still exhibits
his masterful compositional skills that will certainly satisfy those listeners
awaiting new XMTP with baited breath.
