Psicodreamics is the solo project of Salva Moreno. In this project he uses various genres in creating instrumental music capturing styles from dark ambient to upbeat synth and EBM styles. On this, his sixth album, Salva captures much of the darker and emotional side of the musical spectrum on this concept album revolving around the music of the night and world of vampires. Maybe it could be compared to a soundtrack for an Anne Rice novel, or just mood music for a dark night, in either case the soundscapes are captivating throughout the eleven tracks that last nearly an hour in total. The album starts off with "Damned for Eternity" which is the perfect dreamy introduction to this album and easily a favorite through the use of the pulsating synthesized strings and somber beat. All of these ambient soundscapes make this piece especially dreamy and soothing. This drifts off through to the title track "Theatre des Vampires" which brings to light more of a new age feel with the included guitar and simple beatmachine drums. The piano, occasional pipe organ and ambient synths are mesmerizing and an added bonus to the track. This pipe organ becomes more and more prominent throughout many tracks, including "Delicious Agony of Love" and "Daylight Belonging", accenting the darker sinister side while still remaining beautiful and uplifting in so many ways. These move along in similar style with the new age style riding atop the dark and mysterious overall ambient moods. The composition of "Delicious Agony of Love" delves a little more into the ethereal dreamscapes with choral synths and soaring guitar making it a favorite and should appeal more to readers and listeners of Gothic Paradise. The album drifts along through the ambient moods across several captivating tracks, ebbing and flowing through the dreamy soundscapes. The titles describe the moods perfectly as we drift along through "A Life in the Night", "The Crypt of Despair" with the hypnotic moods and on through "Stakes and Garlics" and finally to "Lustful Bites in the Dark". The piano on this piece comes out very strong and beautiful, using textures that are uplifting and superb while remaining with a certain dark aura. This provides a perfect segue to "Sanctuary of Blood", an upbeat semi-industrial piece with distorted bass drum, although the mix of new age and industrial seems odd and not an intuitive mix at first listen. "Bloodsucker" winds this down slightly providing a nice bridge into the finale "La Valse des Vampires". This final piece is a beautiful waltz composed of just about every element previously used on the disc with the addition of notable harpsichord. All of this brings out the feeling of being in a haunted Victorian waltz, spinning round and round, captivated by the magical imagery of the music. Hopefully this description helps the reader understand what this album contains. While it has a heavy new age influence, I feel that it has many elements that will appeal to fans of ethereal, gothic and ambient music. The overall production is excellent and seems well done without being too cliche with the theme and title of the album.

"Thanks to your last works listen I have discovered what means "Gothic Ethereal Music". I did not pay any atention at a first glance to this style because it suggested me just another temporary fashion. But in your music it happens the same as in the Telluric places, like Stonehenge, Notre Dame or Montserrat, where with different architectures, ranging from a single circle of alinged stones , up to the most beatifull Gothic or Romanic, the important is not in the form or in the architecture but in the magic of the place itself, that most of the people perceives. So in your music and style the important thing is not the musical form, but the magic flow that impregnates the sound and makes you feel shaking as when you visit magical places."

With Theatre des Vampires, Salva Moreno has come up with a new classic in terms of European modern conceptual electronic music. The subject is exotic, and the sound conjures up an audio-erotic vibe. It’s filled with layers of lush mellotron, melodic piano themes, dramatic synthetic backdrops/ guitar lines and powerfully rhythmic arrangements alternating with ornate instrumental interludes. The entire album is mesmerizing and enchanting.
