Congratulations on GrIndie Award

One listen to Berlin electronica group Mythos’ “Surround Sound Offensive” will change the way you listen to music forever. Mythos frontman Stephan Kaske has composed an incredible, artistic instrumental album that gives a new meaning to fullness of sound. Self-produced by Kaske in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound, “Surround Sound Offensive” constantly has a variety of sounds going in different places at the same time that artfully come together as a compositional whole. These instrumentals, minimalistically labeled “S.S.O.-1” through “S.S.O.-11” are excellently crafted, well-layered, catchy, and unique. These songs are, by nature, best when listened to loudly on a surround sound system, and the album is meant to be listened to from beginning to end, as an artistic whole. “S.S.O.-2” has an ‘80s feel to it with a great beat and a full sound that brings lots of different sounds together. “S.S.O.-8” has a lot of spacey ambience going, more great beats, and excellent instrumental layering with well-timed fades and dueling instrumentation. “Surround Sound Offensive” is an electronica masterpiece filled with amazing, full instrumentation that fills the canvas with Kaske’s artistic expression. Fans of electronica, and anyone with a surround sound system are going to want to pick this one up.

Cd Of The Month / music transformation(Germany)
Stephan Kaske\'s new cd has been released justn now. We could assure ourselves of its outstanding quality of sound.
Titled \"Surround Sound Offensive\" Kaske presents again a masterly album.
But not only the Surround Sound is awe-inspiring, but also the music is catching and dynamically, as before on his previous albums KAMASUTRA, EDGAR ALLEN POE and MYSTERIA.
These albums belong to the best of Electronic Music, whereas Kaske follows his own very special style.
