Released in 1996, this CD is just ½ of all
that encompasses Transfiguration. The CD comes packaged with an
80 page booklet containing artwork and text that takes you on a journey of
"spiritual transformation.’ The entire project is based on actual documented
dreams that occurred between 1984 an 1996. The music behind Transfiguration is
of the experimental type, yet it is light and somewhat danceable. On certain
tracks there is a slight similarity to gothic in the vocals. Electric
Sanctuary is a compelling composition with a screeching background rhythm
and ½ spoken vocals. For the most part, this track is on the mellow side, yet
the beat and electronics have a tendency to lean towards the dancey side. The
title track is an experimental instrumental with a smattering of gothic
overtones in the keys. Digital Grit Box is a straight edged electro
piece with rhythms akin to A Split Second and percussion much like
Test Dept. LoveSexDesire takes the same electro approach, but sends
it back in time, resulting is a piece with music that is reminiscent of the
mid-80’s synth-pop movement. Is This A Dream contains ambient sequences,
militaristic beats, and ethereal vocals. The church organ styled synths and
acoustic guitar chords in In My Winter are rather gothic in nature. Cyrmai’s
vocal delivery, which is mixed to the front, is extremely strong on this
particular track. Unfortunately I did not receive the booklet with this CD, so
I can’t go into exactly what it holds, but if it is anywhere near as impressive
as the music on the CD, I just might have to track one down.
