‘Electronic Scream’ album by Edward Grant creates an immersive electronic soundscape that simulates driving through a vibrant neon city at midnight. The opening track “The Signal” establishes a buildup with pulsating synth sounds that suggest hidden elements beneath its structure. “Ohm’s Law” delivers a powerful rhythmic punch through precise beats and static textures that maintain tension and energy. The track “Possession” plunges listeners into a deeper sense of dread that resembles moving through digital shadows. The album turns into a darker soundscape on “Devil’s Night” through the use of glitchy tones and heavy bass which creates an atmosphere full of eerie and unpredictable energy. “Afterlife” introduces more melody but maintains its enigmatic aura.
“Masquerade” marks the start of the album’s second half where retro synths mix with smooth cinematic progressions revealing Edward’s film scoring skills. The track “Strada Fantasma” maintains its cinematic quality by evoking the sensation of a sci-fi movie chase sequence. “Electronic Scream” serves as the album’s most powerful central piece. Distorted effects combined with spaced-out melodies generate sensations of both release and chaos. “Voltage Love” features a romantic tone that is both delicate and radiant to provide balance. The track “Overdrive Highway” embodies pure adrenaline that fits Edward’s description of “Driving on the nighttime highway where anything could happen” perfectly through its intense and restless nature.
“Dreaming Android” and “Cyber Soul” finalize the album with their reflective ending. The first track has a dreamlike futuristic sound while the final piece delivers deep emotional melodies that sound both robotic and human. ‘Electronic Scream’ refuses to be confined within traditional boundaries. This work stands out with its freshness and odd charm and demonstrates Edward’s ability to transform basic albums into immersive experiences that demand multiple listenings.
