<Progressive Psy> Haldolium has become a name of true legend among artists and followers familiar with their distinctive dark surrealist sound. The latest from them, GLW DRK (Glow in the Dark) is a great album from first beat to last, made even greater in context of over a decade of crossing boundaries in music production, this time designing their own software synthesizer to even further refine their already larger than life sound. In the true “SCI-FI” sense, this record is extremely high technology in its architecture, purposed not simply for intelligibility but for indulgence. Once again expanding the listener’s horizons testing pleasure zones rather than pain thresholds, but still reminding you just how seductive the dark side of the force can be. Each track is a different episode with its own beautifully twisted tale from some of the masters in the craft of psychedelic music. Easily one of the most definitive records of this year.Reviewed by Stefan Wyeth
