Penta - Return To Alpha
Review by Stephen Houghton
Penta's latest album, Return To Alpha, is a sonic journey that takes listeners on a wild ride through psychedelic trance and techno soundscapes. The album is a culmination of the artist's years of experience in the electronic music scene, and it shows in the polished production and intricate arrangements.
The album opens with the track "Aurora," which sets the tone with its deep basslines and atmospheric pads. From there, the album takes off with tracks like "Lost In Space," which features a driving beat and hypnotic melodies. "Let's Get Weird" is another standout track with its catchy vocal samples and funky bassline.
The album also features collaborations with other artists like Earthling and Mad Maxx, adding even more depth and variety to the already diverse collection of tracks.
