Dystopia Rising

about

Dystopia has a voice. A dark, insidious sequence of sounds that propagate panic, engender fear and impede connection. This is the soundtrack to dystopia....

Dystopia Rising is an album length electronic music instrumental piece, the companion to my next solo album 'The Clovis Limit Pt.2'.

Although in itself it is a significant departure from the style and tone of previous releases it contains fragments of several other tracks from my back catalogue including snippets of guitar from the Hotel Toledo album by RHR.

Edited sections of Dystopia Rising will themselves form 'transitions' between the tracks on the deluxe edition of 'The Clovis Limit Pt.2' which is scheduled for release later into 2020.

Cover design by renowned artist Martin Bedford.


Review by Adam Onslaught, 21/03/20

We all know that Mike is known for his Americana/Blues infused Rock, however, he has taken an adventure outside and into the world of electronica soundtracks.....and in great strides may I add.
There are moments of Vangelis type visionary sounds as he plays with vocal samples, and deep, dark rumblings giving the suggestion of imminent threat, this is a tense yet compelling piece of orchestrated sound that I know all fans of the sci-fi soundtrack will dig.
My description may not do this the justice it deserves, not being a technical person, which Mike is so obviously is, I may have failed to find the words to describe the sounds he uses but how does it make me feel? Transformed to somewhere else! Which considering the way the world is right now cannot be a bad thing at all.
