Seventh Circle – The Line (single)

posted in: January 2013, Music Review | 0

We did a full on interview with Adam Pederson quite a while back, but for your listening pleasure he has returned with the single “The Line” from the forthcoming album Human. This is really good music. It reminds me of the ‘dreamier’ aspects of Pink Floyd – definitely not the same genre, but with headphones and time to listen, you can close your eyes and really get transported away. The music is the storyteller that paints in tones and a dark ambience that is heavy and deliberate. This is kind of the soundtrack to that space in between sleep and reality. The awesome thing is the different types of music that are represented here. The mood is dark and the atmosphere is heavy, the bass is dominant and the programming of sounds build to a crescendo as the vocals echo and invite the listener into a different space and time. There are tribal beats towards the end of The Line which surprise and fit in perfectly. The vocals are haunting and the ethereal feel is precise.

One of the coolest things about this single is the track list…you don’t just get the ‘A’ side and ‘B’ side, you get this:

1. Prelude (b-side, not on album)
2. The Line (album version)
3. Beneath the Skin (album version)
4. Dissent (album version)
5. The Line (blurred)
6. The Line (noisy ghost mix)
7. The Line (instrumental)
8. The Line (sefiros mix)
