Cryo - Retropia

Cryo - Retropia 2CD
(2014) Progress

I already knew, back in November of 2013 when I placed my pre-order for the limited edition (200 copies), that I was going to like this album. The "In Your Eyes" EP was a great appetizer. Now I'm only waiting for my mailman to deliver the Russian Edition of  "Retropia" to me. It has two remixes not available on this 2CD version.

I got this new Cryo EP in the mail today. It's a great little teaser for the, soon to be released, "Retropia" album. If this is the new direction Cryo is heading I can't wait for "Retropia" to be released!
The sound is more in the vein of Martin's pre-Cryo project SoundSequence. This is really promising because the two SoundSequence compilations "Climbing The Mountain (1997-2007" and "Top Of The Mountain: 1997 - 2012" are huge favourites of mine. Also thumbs up to Progress Productions for delivering a never ending stream of quality releases.

Yes, finally I've recieved my Russian CD copy of SoundSequence's demos. This CD holds more songs than the digital release Progress Production put out in 2011, but note this; it doesn't contain all the songs from the download release! It also has 3 songs (I think?) with vocals from Martins sister Karin Rudefelt. Get this album now! It's a limited release, only 500 copies. So act fast!

This is a compilation of Martin Rudefelt's work prior to Cryo. The songs may sound a bit more primitive than the Cryo releases, but they are just as good. In fact I think this album is a must have if you're into Cryo! The only bad thing with this digital release is that the Russian label Razgrom is releasing a superior version on CD, with many more songs. I've ordered it, but god knows how long I will have to wait until I can put my hands (and ears?) on it?

This is a compilation album released solely for the Russian market. I think it's a bit early in Cryo's career to release a best of compilation, but I guess this is made as presentation of a new artist to the Russian market? Anyway, there's a couple of exclusive mixes on this album, therefore I went ahead and bought it. And I'm not disappointed. This is a great collection of songs.

I recieved Cryo's new CD "Hidden Aggression" yesterday and I'm somewhat disappointed by it. Hopefully it will grow on me. I had expected it to be more like this EP - Cryo's best work so far! Once again I'm expressing my love for the EP format. Just keep releasing EP's and I will live happy ever after...
Anyway, this record contains three extraordinary tracks "My Wall", "Inhale/Exhale", "Freedom", some remixes and a Front 242 cover "Body To Body"!
