UNDERNEATH THE NIGHTSKY REVIEW BY ELECTRO AMBIENT SPACE MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2007
A brief German female narrative begins “Translogical Movements,” giving way in short order to driving synths and sequencing. A catchy melody and a steady beat follow, completing the powerful opening of Nattefrost’s sophomore Groove release.
Quirky unique synths mark the beginning of “Searching for a Distant Planet,” punching into the night air, though it develops into another accessible steady number.
The title track bubbles briskly along as well, light and lively. You’ll be hard pressed to keep the toes from tapping and the head from bobbing.
Better still is “Observing Emotions,” slowing things just a shade but keeping things moving forward with irresistible rhythms and memorable melodies. A strong Jarre reference asserts itself near the end, deftly weaved in to the rest.
“Winterland” exudes surprising warmth as it jumps right in, continuing the emphasis on energy along with plenty of silky smooth synth work.
The playfulness and optimism keep coming with “A Different View of Jupiter,” again with hints of Jean-Michel, though not as much as on the bouncy retro sounds of next couple tracks after that. Underneath the Nightsky is just about the most fun you can have with your electronic music.
