Sevren Ni-Arb & Raive Yarx (Brain Nerves & X-Ray Evair) for the uninitiated
forage into yet another new musical realm. Gone are the bygone days of Skinny
Puppy influence and dancefloor electro. This time X Marks The Pedwalk has gone
the direction that Delerium paved with their most recent release. A mixture of
organic ambience, female vocals and the occasional eccentric dance piece. If
you've had any experience with XMTP in the past you would not even recognize
the band at first listen. You have to wait until at least a minute into the
second track to catch any tacit comparison to previous albums. Yet the music
still remains extremely minimalistic in contrast to the any of bands who have
drastically changed their inherent sound in recent releases. I am odds as to
whither this departure in an indication of growth or stagnation within band
itself. Surely the overall diversity of the sounds used to produce the album
are of a much smaller subset than ever before. In any case sum seems to be a
great deal more than its parts which is more than you can say for some artists.
