After initial rehearsals proved fruitful, it was obvious that fusing together everyone&#8217;s disparate influences was creating something greater than the sum of its parts. The music gradually became a mix of 1970s Italian horror soundtracks, retro progressive rock and modal riffage a la Circle, Zombi or krautrock artists such as Manuel Gottsching and Harmonia. Zoltan\u2019s sound travels in time to a dystopian future built on the bedrock of the present, inspired by the band members interests in vintage science fiction and psychological horror movies.<\/p>\n<p>The six tracks that make up \u201cFirst Stage Zoltan\u201d are full of menacing chordal sweeps, cinematic synthscapes and relentless, angular rhythms. Imagine the soundtrack to a remake of \u201cZombie Holocaust\u201d as directed by Michael Mann and you\u2019d be getting close. Banks of vintage synths are underpinned by a driving rhythm section, infusing the intricacy of prog with a repetitive, psychedelic energy. The album climaxes with the 14 minute, 5 part epic \u201cBlack Iron Prison\u201d, where throbbing bass notes, ambient interludes and Giorgio-Moroder-from-hell sequencers lead to a bone-shaking crescendo, before dying down to eventual silence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First full length by synth prog unit Zoltan<\/li>\n<li>All-analog vintage keyboards \u2013 digital-free!<\/li>\n<li>1970s horror soundtracks meet krautrock<\/li>\n<li>Icy, futuristic synths<\/li>\n<li>Menacing and angular repetition<\/li>\n<li>For fans of Goblin, Heldon, Rush, Zombi and John Carpenter&#8220; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoltan &#8211; First Stage Zoltan Das Label Cineploit schreibt: &#8222;In 2010 brothers Andy and Matt Thompson and drummer Andrew Prestidge formed Zoltan with the intention of putting Andy&#8217;s vast collection of vintage synths to good use.
