Today feature in artist spotlight is Danubian Stork and his latest track: Lunar Eclipse. Admittedly the project is influenced by Jarre, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and others and it shows.
What we get is a very Jarre-esque beginning with tasty pads, modulated effects and sweeps. The main theme is relaxed, atmospheric with playful panning. The title is ambitious but the track lives up to it.
There are no hidden surprises, the track is coherent and strong. Although it’s not packed with reverbs, sidechain compression and drum solos but it’s not an average synthwave track after all.
Having grown up on Monsieur Jarre’s music myself I find it very comforting and it sounds good in simple earpieces and in higher end headphones as well.
It is nice to see when a new track inspired by giants is getting released and keep an eye on more releases from Danubian Stork which we will definitely review on this blog!
Until then, have a listen:
