There’s been quite a gap between the concluding part and the first one of this concept release that came out in 2019. I presume plans and stuff were messed on due the Covid-19 pandemic, of which the aftermath is still felt until today. In “Trapped part II”, our travellers ultimately find a way out of the time-space loop and return to our or their own universe. The two continuous pieces, clocking at 37 and 35 minutes respectively, are adaptations of two live concerts the Buytaert brothers did: one in “Post X” and one in “Het Hannekensnest” during the gathering of the Facebook-group Music from the Cosmos. Like the first one, there’s quite an adventurous veil hanging over the cinematic-angled, Berlin School spiced music. The guys take their time to unfold their sonic journey with quite a lengthy, abstract intro from the start with a sound design of enticing sequencing, melodic lines and solo voices surfacing and evolving meticulously thereafter. Most notably, the sequencer patterns keep transforming while they are accompanied by spacious sound effects, piano and choir pads on “Calculating the Space-Time Gradient”. “The Singularity Escape-Gate” starts out with various spacy sounds which soon get company by slices of sequences and dreamy pads, but at the 15-minute mark the sounds start to build while various steady sequence patterns show up as well as a solo voice. The latter and further building sound design -including interlocking sequencers- though turns out a tad too pronounced to my taste. I imagine this may not bother others too much, but it makes me prefer “Part I” above this one in the end. Still, this album is a(nother) solid one from these talented musicians.
