Details
The Future In Reverse was recorded with minimal equipment, basically some instruments and microphones attached to a recording software on a laptop. Nevertheless it was all done with consideration and a true love for detail which would have been hard to exercise in a proper recording studio. The question was, how far can we go without the use of what is said to be essential for recording an album and only to be found in a studio? Hence we spent our spare time on things like recording guitars in a garden shed, setting up and recording a drum-kit in a living room, or studying all kinds of tutorials on recording on Youtube, to find out how to turn all the tracks into a nice sounding stereo mix. Listening now to the finished album gives us some kind of certainty that we might be on to something here.
Musically, the album covers a lot of different musical styles that we’ve tried to bring together without the dogma of being a prog-purist. The catchy opening track Yesterday’s favourite smile goes together nicely with the spacey 12-minute trip that is Determination. So do Tomorrow In Dark Water, a classic starfish64 tune, and the straight forward rocker Molehills. Charting An Abyss, an intriguing epic clocking in at 18 minutes, sums up the album with its dreamlike layered unearthly flow.
