Our Take

ALLEN RAVENSTINE's latest album, "Waiting For The Bomb," is a whimsical journey through the eccentric mind of the renowned musician. Known for his experimental soundscapes and off-kilter melodies, Ravenstine does not disappoint with this collection of tracks.

From the moment the album kicks off with the title track, listeners are transported to a world where synthesizers reign supreme and conventional song structures are thrown out the window. Ravenstine's masterful production skills are on full display, as he weaves together layers of electronic sounds that twist and turn in unexpected ways.

Tracks like "Neon" and "Strange Arrangement" showcase Ravenstine's ability to create music that is simultaneously catchy and avant-garde. His use of unconventional instruments and effects adds a sense of unpredictability to the album, keeping listeners on their toes throughout.

While some may find Ravenstine's sound challenging or unconventional, for those willing to embark on the musical journey he offers, "Waiting For The Bomb" is a truly rewarding experience. With each listen, new layers and textures emerge, revealing the depth and complexity of Ravenstine's artistic vision.

In a music landscape dominated by predictability and formulaic pop hits, ALLEN RAVENSTINE stands out as a true innovator. "Waiting For The Bomb" is a testament to his creative genius and a must-listen for fans of experimental music everywhere.

About the artist

Allen Ravenstine

Ah, Allen Ravenstine, the enigmatic electronic mastermind behind the iconic band Pere Ubu. With his background in classical music and a penchant for experimental sounds, Ravenstine is a true musical maverick. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Ravenstine joined Pere Ubu in the mid-70s and quickly became known for his unconventional approach to synthesizers and sound manipulation. His contributions to the band's discography are nothing short of revolutionary, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of punk and post-punk music. Ravenstine's distinctive style can be heard on albums like "Dub Housing" and "New Picnic Time," where his eerie synth lines and off-kilter melodies add a sense of otherworldly beauty to the band's already eclectic sound. A true sonic architect, Ravenstine has paved the way for a new generation of electronic artists. Off stage, Ravenstine is a man of few words, preferring to let his music speak for itself. But make no mistake, his influence on the world of music is undeniable. To quote the man himself, "I'm just trying to make interesting sounds." And interesting sounds he has indeed made. So, if you're in the mood for some mind-bending electronic music that will transport you to another dimension, look no further than the work of Allen Ravenstine. He's a true pioneer of the genre and a bona fide musical genius.
