 I asked myself - what was in here- inside the record, I meant - to make me appreciate it - so, randomly, I felt important.

 Apart from the ability to plagiarize Pezzali in the bizarre race for the strangest accent, I had completely forgotten the lyrics, one of the weakest points of the record.

 There is more the desire to put together various images to show off, thus obtaining as a result this hybrid between amateurish and attempted professional.

 The group maintained the catenaccio closing in defense, to bring out this cassette which in 2014 would like to be the umpteenth new recording... but here we’re definitely not there.

The review critically examines Frentrum's 2014 demo, highlighting a strong reliance on clichés and nostalgia-driven aesthetics without real personality or originality. Despite well-maintained vocals and some production effort, the music is largely uninspired and derivative, especially influenced by early Burzum works. The cassette format and retro visuals feel more like trend-following than authentic expression. Overall, it’s a demo that attempts to recreate a classic style but falls short in musical and artistic impact. Explore Frentrum's demo to hear nostalgic black metal roots, but dive in with tempered expectations about originality and production.

 If 8:58 had been released under the Orbital brand, no one would have had much to say (the sound is more or less the same), but the work would certainly have enjoyed greater visibility.

 Straddling a new Hartnoll solo album and a typical Orbital release, 8:58 is still a work that deserves to be listened to by enthusiasts.

Paul Hartnoll’s 8:58 project tries to combine his Orbital legacy with fresh solo efforts but suffers from an unclear identity and inconsistent execution. The album opens strong with a standout title track but many following songs feel underdeveloped or like fillers.

Fans of Orbital and electronic music enthusiasts may find enough to appreciate, despite some rushed production and uneven content. Discover Paul Hartnoll’s 8:58 and explore the blend of Orbital nostalgia and new electronic experiments.
