Gridlock - The Synthetic Form FLAC album

Gridlock's debut album. While its beginning to sound a but dated, its still a classic in my view. The normal tracks have washy beats with low, raspy vocals. Its pretty hard to make out what he's saying.. but then again I guess it doesn't really matter with this music. There is 5 interlude tracks, which in my opinion really connect the other songs... short dark ambient tracks that do a good job of phasing the tracks together into the new sound. As a bonus you get 2 remixes but they are nothing special and don't sound that much different than the originals. This album is becoming hard to get, as its now out of print.

I would just like to add to your accurate description, and in my view it is the vitality of this album. Firstly, gapless playback where all compositions are Literally connected and flow in sequence. Secondly, the album has an emotionally deep cinematic soundtrack quality because of a meshwork of fabulous thick pads, dark chords w/ strings and lovely arpeggio elements which bob in and out of the tracks. Those highly emotional vox you spoke about writhe and mix within the beautifully melancholic atmospheres Gridlock composed on TSF. At the time this was released there was nothing quite like the depth and rhythmic brutality of this piece of art within the genres it was associated. So many many times I put this on and just dreamed way away in its intense depth. I’m 40-somethibg now, and although Time has run its course there are some monuments which for me transcend times domain. This work is one of those. This timevof Pendragon Records mailorder was a boom for the genre. I recall so many excellent mainstays appeared or got a new life around this period. Lovely memories. Essential industrial album for your collection.
