"Wastelands" conveys very powerful imagery with sweeping leadlines, while "Digital Love" is a piece of symphonic beauty. "Assassin" features more computerised speech which complements the music superbly. Waveform meets Kraftwerk? It's easy to be flippant but I'm sure that a lot of effort went into synching this lot together and the end result is most certainly worth it. This particular approach sounds genuinely different. Plonk it on every track and I'm sure the effect would become tiresome, but it's judged just about right here.
"Sometimes you'll see me in your dreams" says the computer voice to herald "Dreamstate". Again this piece does not depart from the tried and trusted Waveform formula, while "Stairway of Lost Souls" also features the classic melody lines and synth voices. "New Reality" ends beautifully with very poignant computer speech.
"Evolution not Revolution" is a phrase I've used before and it certainly applies here. Waveform fans will delight at yet another immaculate album and all the qualities they have come to expect are there in abundance. But I do detect signs that the formula may need pepping up for future projects. For now though, no-one will be disappointed after a journey through Waveform's Virtual World. (Graham Getty)
