Watching Free System Projekt live it is easy to imagine the
stationary figures manning the helm of a starship. With little
movement or acknowledgement of the audience (or even each
other) the trio makes adjustments to the course of the concert by
interfacing with their racks of gear with a stoicism reserved for
the single-minded voyagers of an outer space sci-fi tale. Their
live CD GENT (73'07") navigates through space first explored on
works like Ricochet and Picture Music, but more resembles an
age or era than it does any other album. FSP's music
wonderfully captures the spacefaring atmosphere and cosmic
mystery this genre is known for. Pulsing sequencers, celestial
choirs, spiraling spacey effects and graceful synth-bourne
melodies provide this music with a luxurious feel even where it
is most spare. The scale of some of these tracks dwarfs the
listener as the imaginative scoring and rapt intensity evokes
limitless horizons. Mankind may never reach the edge of the
universe, though people buy a ticket to this destination at every
concert performance by Free System Projekt.
