about

this album came into being between 2000 and 2004 and was released in 2005.

the tracks were recorded using a very similar instrumentation to the one vangelis had used when recording his score to ridley scott's blade runner back in 1981/82.

the yamaha cs 80 synthesiser is featured heavily here, along with roland vp-330 vocoder plus, mini moog, and rhodes piano.

the stunning sleeve design was done by jörg bennert. thanks.

here's a nice review by thevinylfactory.com/features/yamaha-cs-80-in-10-records/ :

"Although the artwork may suggest otherwise, synthesiser enthusiast Stephen Parsick’s magnum opus is neither a metal album nor an industrial record. This, as the label states, is dark, ambient electronic music. Recorded straight to DAT by Parsick himself, he avoided “computers, sequencers, MIDI interfaces or multitrack recorders,” in favour of pure CS-80 performances, captured with remarkably clarity alongside his Roland VP-330 vocoder, Minimoog and Fender Rhodes. By Parsick’s own admission, the setup is very similar to the one Vangelis used to create the Blade Runner soundtrack. As a result, Hoellenengel opens up a very similar sonic world. Given how much Parsick composes in the bass region of the instrument and how little he does to manipulate or interrupt the sound of the CS-80, you could argue that this album shows off the unbelievable power of the synth even more than Blade Runner."
