Review

The concept of Prominence is of great sadness and gloom, but can takes you into a state of happiness as well. This is Hora’s third album, and unfortunately, currently sold out.

The names of the songs were taken from a few miscellaneous thing personal to Hora, as well as cosmic terms.

The album begins with the song Future Life, a very dejected song. The piano adds nicely to the mood. Song’s like life, Heavenz-coma- (slower and longer remix of Heavenz from Hora’s first full length album), Quasar and Spinal cord can really relate to the concept of sorrow, but Hora manages to make each special, with a wide mix of piano and synthesis.

Even though many of the songs focuses on depression, there are a few that shine with full throttle techno. Songs like Ray, Flow, Photon and Prominence can put anyone in a serious but transient mood.

The two songs I felt stood out the most were Euphoria and Ignition. Like the name suggested, Euphoria is a song that manifest with an overwhelming feeling of happiness. Promise to cheer up anyone. While Ignition is the only song with vocals, very aggressive, but none the less, incredible. The chorus has Hora’s "death Voice" previously experience in Inner Unniver with the song Modulated God. it adds up to the mood perfectly.

This album might not be for everyone. But I do highly recommend it to any Schwarz Stein fans, or techno fan, or simply anyone who would truly appreciate good music.
