I love Neptune Towers. Part of me wants Fenriz to resuscitate the project, but another wants it to remain dead so we just have these two perfect gems. I’ve written about the other album some time ago, so it’s time to talk about this one. I love how Tangerine Dream had this low-key influence on the black metal guys, with Mortiis doing Fata Morgana and Fenriz doing this.
This is far dreamier and stretched out to oblivion than anything Mortiis did however, with true to the core Tangerine-style gazing, with overlapping walls of mesmerising synthesizers. I’ll see you on the moon base for a pint. If not, I’ll catch you when we get to Empire Algol.
