A year after the digital debut released by Transient Force titled "Begin Sequence", DVS NME is back with a new album titled "Metastasis". This time Johan self-produced a CD containing eleven new mid tempos instrumental tracks. On this new one the sound of DVS NME has slightly changed. Maybe because of the production or maybe because of the sounds used but, on the previous album tracks like "Superluminal" or "Astrogate" made me think about Dopplereffekt or Drexciya. Those tracks had complex rhythms and multi-layered synth lines but the sound on 'Metastasis' isn't giving me that razor like effect. Bass and mid frequencies have been enhanced and to me it seems that Johan kept distortion under control. While composing the new tracks, I think that emotionally he has been inspired by different themes, as suggested by the heart dissection containing mechanical parts that you can find on the cover. If on "Begin Sequence" we had a robot willing to visit new lands and to do new experiments, on "Metastasis", we have a human being who is experiencing new life facts. We have titles like "Disappeared", "Apart", "Solitary", "Disassembled" and "Redesigned" which don't let us fantasize much about what the themes are. Musically, "Metastasis" is a bit more sidereal sounding but it contains always the electro elements you would expect to find into a DVS NME release. We will await this space explorer coming from Colorado watching the sky from our window, just to find out what his next mission will be....
