Cyber Djinn It is one of the best cyberpunk albums with an explosion of creativity that innovates and explores new sounds. The multilayers are cataclysmic and the variations of rhythm, are a delight. THX jackzemmes for this underestimated find. Favorite track: Lost in Time.

palehorse666 an epic cyberpunk masterpiece. that's the only way I can describe this one. perfectly tells a story without use of lyrics, gets you in a dancing mood, and then slows it down with a moody atmospheric track. and don't even get me started on the title track! what a ride this is don't let this slip under your radar. it is one of the best examples of an electronic concept album. Favorite track: The Shorter a Flame, the Brighter its Light.

SteveSynth Humanity in Decay is a great new find for me, and what sweet first impression! Cyberpunk themes coming through strongly, giving off great retro-futuristic vibes. It is obvious a lot of thought went into the final 14m feature track, such a great way to outro. Favorite track: The Shorter a Flame, the Brighter its Light.

TheTallMan Although it should deserve a slightly better mix and mastering, this album is a monster of cyberpunk space opera geniusness. "The shorter a flame....." is a 14mn eargasm. I kneel before my new Master !! Favorite track: The Shorter a Flame, the Brighter its Light.

about

The year is 2047.
Humanity as a whole has changed.
People are no longer social individuals, staying by themselves and those close to them.
Empathy is at an all time low amongst a majority of the population.
Technology has changed the face of the world, aswell as the face of those who insert it right under their skin.
Nature is dying, for those who hold power only care about one thing: profit, leading to more power.
To escape from this reality, extreme depravation has become a common habit for a lot of people.

In this context, a henchman lives a usual life as a mercenary, having no one else except for his beloved.
However, an unpleasant fate will fall upon him, for a strange new cult sees a great opportunity in using his capabilities.
After a ritual leading to his full submission to their master, he will become their most powerful weapon.
But mind control is not yet fully achieved, and his old self will resurface.
Then, only one thing will keep him awake: strike back, whatever the cost.

This is his story.
