Advantages: hugely atmospheric, varied, well constructed songs Disadvantages: Some may consider their retro stylings dated (but that would be missing the point)
I love zombie movies- not the modern garbage that Hollywood has taken to pumping out of late, but the eerie and unsettling classics of the 70s and 80s such as Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters. One of the things that afforded these films their timeless quality was that they all featured soundtracks by 70s Italian progressive rock/synth composers such as Goblin, giving them a creepy quality that makes the hairs ... ...a way that modern horrors never seem to manage. Zombi are a two man group hailing from Pittsburgh USA who pick up where Goblin left off, creating sinister yet proggy soundscapes of pulsing analog synths, funky basslines and jazzy drums. Their output is purely instrumental, and guitars are also absent, the songs being essentially keyboard-driven. Rich waves of synthesized sound bleed into one another, as the album ebbs from urgent, throbbing beats ...
