Now, we open a new │ │ chapter, the world of BTÆs æMetaversal.Æ │ │ │ │ Whereas, BTÆs previous studio album release, The Lost Art Of Longing,ö │ │ continued down the beloved electronic music artistÆs path of perfectly │ │ melding together dance music with elements of pop, æMetaversalÆ steers │ │ us in a decidedly different but welcomed direction. As BT putÆs it, │ │ ôMetaversal is more of an experience than an album.ö A contrast between │ │ gentle and comforting soundscapes and dark and brooding bangers, │ │ æMetaversalÆ ultimately reveals itself as an album prime for home │ │ listening. │ │ │ │ æMetaversalÆ kicks off with the driving neon glitz of æKintsugi,Æ a │ │ track that is inspired by a metaphor for embracing your flaws and │ │ imperfections. It segues to the funk and early Hip-Hop inspired │ │ ôConfunktionö and ôLaurel Canyon Night Drive,ö the latter of which │ │ transports into a sci-Fi world thatÆs ôTronö meets ôEscape From LA.ö │ │ Next, ôStratosphereö offers an uplifting nod to the prog house fans │ │ while ôPaper Chairsö raids the breakbeat vaults for some definitive BT │ │ chops. ôThe Blue Hourö is sublime electro chill best experienced when │ │ the sun dips below the horizon and the remaining sunlight takes on a │ │ mostly blue shade. Yes, you guessed it, this is an occurrence referred │ │ to as the blue hour. │ │ │ │ Named after a term used to describe the relationship between the │ │ human-like appearance of a robotic object and the emotional response it │ │ evokes, ôUncanny Valleyö picks up the tempo offering a contrast between │ │ progressive beats and gentle music box sounds which float underneath. │ │ ôImmutableö is a futuristic trip that resembles a cross between John │ │ CarpenterÆs classic soundtracking and todayÆs finer Synthwave │ │ productions. The remainder of the album functions as a lullaby from BT │ │ crafted especially for you. ôWhere The Sun Meets The Seaö is all-out │ │ bliss, a downtempo song thatÆs made for closed eyes and inner soothing. │ │ This gently segues into ôOverview Effect,ö nearly four minutes of │ │ ultimate beatless relaxation inspired by a cognitive shift in awareness │ │ reported by some astronauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the │ │ Earth from outer space. Conscious drifts even further with the closing │ │ track, æIf Memory Serves,ö the perfect bookend for æMetaversal.Æ │ │ │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────[ Tracklist ]─────────────────────────────┐ │ │ : : │ │ [ ] │ │ [ ] │ │ 1.
