Under The Same Sky (Ofgv) (Dbtr)

Sleeping Pulse is the name of the musical collaboration of Mick Moss (Antimatter) and the Portuguese Lui-s Fazendeiro (Painted Black). While Moss is solely concentrating on lyrics and vocal lines here, all music is penned by Fazendeiro. With their debut "Under The Same Sky", they create a multi-faceted, modern Rock album that deftly covers the range from a solid, progressive backbone to fragile acoustic passages, electronic elements and soulful string arrangements. It was mixed and mastered by Daniel Cardoso (Anathema), who gave the album a clear and nuanced, yet always vibrant sound. Despite it's musical diversity, "Under The Same Sky" appears homogenous at all times thanks to the perfectly staged voice of Mick Moss, who on this album almost certainly delivers his most colourful vocal performance to date. On the textual level, Moss once more deals with the abysses of the human soul and grounds his lyrics on an elaborate concept about sociopathic manipulation.
