Ok, I made that term up. But, I am really liking the approach taken by Dave Kerzner with the SOC Dimensionaut and his solo album, New World.
I would also classify the new Lonely Robot release in this category. Maybe even the new Steven Wilson.
Let me see if I can describe this style:
-Conceptual in nature. Not necessarily a concept story, but at least a common theme from a lyrical standpoint.
-Lush soundscapes and backdrops to the music that threads itself through each track, almost like a film score with common themes and feel.
-Atmospheric transitions between vocal tracks
-Melodic songs interspersed within the 'soundtrack'
It's similar to watching / experiencing a movie. I find myself going back to these kinds of albums more than anything else at the moment.
Any other releases that fit this style?
