Brainstorm by Majeure
Brainstorm is a split album from Steve Moore and Majeure (aka A.E. Paterra), both founding members of renowned sci-fi prog-rock duo Zombi. Side A finds Steve Moore infusing heavy doses of John Carpenter-inspired ghostly synth fog into the early 80s sci-fi film scores that made Vangelis a household name. In other words, it's four more examples of what Steve Moore does better than anyone since the above-mentioned pioneers. Side B features a single epic side-long 20-minute piece by Majeure consisting of three movements: an exploratory ambient first act, followed by a Tangerine Dream-worthy synth workout, and culminating in a mid-tempo prog-rock outro that recalls Zombi's Escape Velocity album from 2011.

Majeure combines the dark Moog-driven film scores of Vangelis with the relentless drive of Can and the transcendent minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. The brilliant mix of live and electronic rhythms is the heart and soul of Majeure's music, which has a funny way of making time either speed up or stop entirely.
