CRITICAL.ERROR
The second Remi's release turned out to be more diverse and variegated in the musical aspect than the previous one. These 8 tracks, in which different musical styles are combined, came out to be very bright and catchy.
However, despite the mixture of various genres we can clearly see two "favorites". These are cosmic, sometimes flavoured with 8-bit elements, electronic samples and abrupt, prickly riffs that grapple in severe combat and can't define a winner. At first it seems that guitar passage have faded, drained of all strength, left to the background. Sensing a victory, electronic sample triumphantly fills the whole musical space. However, within a matter of seconds "defeated" guitars emerge from the depths and pierce the sound with its caustic instrumental gust. One more moment, and seemingly irreconcilable enemies blend together in a wild unison of electro-metal-bacchanalia and in everyone's hearing announce that in their battle the winner wasn't decided.
In the breaks between all this one can hear deliberate saxophone parts which surprisingly well enough fill in the whole picture, remixed Eminem rapping that is slightly spiced with industrial riffs, funk insertions, accompanied by the music from old video-games and also unhurried cosmic samples that nicely relax songs’ atmosphere.
Talking specifically about the compositions, the best of them is definitely "Kernel Pt. 3" in which spectacular combination of metal and electronics reaches a peak. Also rather well looks contrast track "Kernel Pt. 2", that successfully balances between the heaviness and calmness.
In general, this work is very solid and if Remi continues to develop his musical ideas further, his next release will definitely become a discovery of the forthcoming year!

Review of The Algorithm's releases and interview of Rémi are available on the blog Modern Zeuhl (in french only, sorry for the non-French speakers).
And I find that The Algorithm is ALREADY a great musical discovery
