Six years after their second album titled "What's Beyond The Suns" the duo God's Bow is back with FOLLOW. Agnieszka Kornet (lyrics) and Krzysztof Pieczarka (music) on this album created a mixture of electronic goth music with classical and trip-hop influences. FOLLOW opens with "Empathy", a short dreamy track based on strings and Agnieszka's chants which introduce one of the best songs of the lot: "Tomorrow". This tune (along with "Mosaic") made me remember of some early Dead Can Dance atmospheres (see the use of percussions and the dreamy vocals) but mixed with new wave arrangements. The following one, "I know", is a bit more electronic and is able to create a sort of goth electronic mixture which sounds nice. "Helpline" is the main track of the single released before the album (the MCD contains different versions of the main track and of "This perfect time" but no unreleased tunes). The song is a mid tempo electronic goth tune with a strong refrain but to me it sounds less sensual paragoned to "Tomorrow". "Wave awakes" play with slow percussions, synth pads and Middle Eastern melodies but it doesn't sound that catchy to me. "This perfect time" is a bit more melancholic paragoned to "Helpline" and it fluctuate between synth pads and Agnieszka vocalises. The album somewhat follows with this scheme and along with "Mosaic" I'd point out to you "Under heavy sky". On this edition of the album there's a bonus CD with ten other remixes of "This perfect time" and "Helpline" (six and four). Of the lot I appreciated the ones which heavily reworked the tunes, these are: "This Perfect Time – remix by C.H.District", "Helpline – dead air mix by Weave", "This Perfect Time - remix by The Frozen Autumn" (not their top notch work, but a nice one) and "This Perfect Time – remix by Dark Territory".

How wide is the dark territory? You can discover it by listening to this album. Ethereal, gothic, electronic, industrial, medieval, exotic, classical, you can find all these influences in the latest project of two Dutch musicians called Jamez and Jon. Jamez isn't a newcomer in the music business. As a seasoned musician and techno producer, he produced so many good records that you could imagine, releasing dozens of releases under a variety of aliases. Jon is the vocalist but also the writer, composer and co-producer. His talent in creating melodies and atmospheres combines perfectly with Jamez's ability in shaping musical landscapes.
Dark Territory, track after track explores with great experience the darkwave sound. In this album you can hear ghosts of Dead Can Dance, Ontario Blue and O quam Tristis, but not only that: cold electro of the likes of the Die Form, E.B.M. close to Front line Assembly, etc. If you don't count tracks 2 and 5, which I haven't found that great, this is a masterwork!!!
