Get to the point with a beat. Nice

The new album by Progenitor will chill you out in a nice heady way. It is very original, and though one can make comparisons, it's not exactly like anything you've ever heard before. Not only is the opening track "Popular Poison" a real stand out, but it sets the mood and expectations for the rest album nicely with its beautifully woven soundscapes. Hess pays tribute to his Brit-Pop influences in a little ditty called "Connection in London." Another highlight is "Yellow Lines Unbroken" which has a playful, almost silly melody, overdubbed with some nice breathing samples. Of all the tracks, the one I like best is "Leave That Beach", which could be best described as a peaceful and soothing ride. Who is this album for? Anyone who's into electronica: The full range of electronic genres are subtly blended through out this work. The overall sound of this album could best be compared to Aphex Twin with an urban twist to it, but fans of Moby and more mainstream techno will also enjoy this. In a genre that is increasingly similar and bland (especially in regards to Euro-Techno) Progenitor's function (I) is a breath of fresh air. The music has a mello, dreamy quality to it that gives it a broad appeal. Excellent work Progenitor! (Review by Reynaldo Alvarado)

I've had this cd in my stereo for about a week now... Progenitor has a fantastic sense of what is essential to translate emotion through rythm and mood. He doesn't overplay things... and this can't really be taught. Songs 4 and 6 are faves. Anyone connected in any way with independant film production would be wise to purchase this cd for placement consideration. Because Progenitor is so young, I'll go out on a limb a state for the record that if he stays with it, in 5 or so years he stands a chance of making the next Mezzanine or Play. I can't wait.

I really like the groove you put on Leave That Beach; it gives the listener a dreamy, floating-away feeling. Wishing, Hoping (Cold Chill Mix) shines the brightest of all your samples. The vocal element is hauntingly beautiful, and has an organic feel. Although I'm in an industrial band, I love the sound of an acoustic guitar every once in a while. The organic touch gives it that little extra to push it over the top. I get a very Nine Inch Nails vibe off Yellow Lines Unbroken. I get a funky, tribal feel as well; it is like something Trent Reznor would have done after watching Shaft. The track has a cool blend going on, a real original. Overall, I am very impressed. Although I rarely get into the more experimental electronic music, your work has definitely caught my attention.
