As the duo’s music becomes increasingly progressive and far-reaching, its individual members have begun to craft an array of solo efforts inspired by everything from Italo-disco to obscure German psychedelic noise and 70/80s electronic film scores. Majeure is the alter ego of Zombi drummer A.E. Paterra, and Timespan is its debut release. Taking the term “full-length” quite literally, the album is made up of three epic side-long journeys through time and space. Merging the darkness of Vangelis’ Blade Runner-era Moog-driven scores and the stately minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass with the relentless drive of Can and Silver Apples, Timespan delivers inspiring sci-fi disco of the highest caliber. Written, recorded and painstakingly produced by Paterra over an 18-month period, Majeure is unique in its careful collaboration of live and electronic sounds. Anchored by Paterra’s sturdy, propulsive live drums, each song uses layers of analogue synthesizers to masterfully craft extended compositions that virtually stop time before speeding it up, culminating in countless moments of genuine majesty. As much a voyage as an album could offer, Timespan is equally magical and addictive. With an uncanny devotion to celestial mood and cosmic scale, Majeure gracefully keeps its feet on the floor and its head in the stars. Newly released 2CD version includes a bonus album of remixes by Steve Moore (Zombi), Justin k. Broadrick (Jesu) and acclaimed French producer Black Strobe!
