Ricochet

Synthesizers and sequencers produce a dense, ambient soundscape, but it is much more energetic than their predecessors Phaedra and Rubycon. The main innovation on the album is the use of complex, multi-layered rhythms, which later influenced trance music and similar genres of electronic dance music.

“Ricochet Part Two (which was mainly sourced from a recording at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls), starts off with a beautiful and pastoral descending Edgar Froese piano figure before being joined by layers of Mellotron flute, then a teasing / repeating end section dies away to a hypnotic echoed sequencer part which still sounds incredible today, mainly down to the contrast with the opening of the piece.”
