Style: Synthwave
Primary Emotions/Themes: Simple yet effective synthwave
Thoughts: This was one of the first synthwave albums I bought when I was getting into the style. I didn't know it at the time but it would also end up being one of the best ones in my collection.
This is about as basic as it gets when it comes to synthwave. Drums, a main melody and some backing instruments. The main instrument throughout most of the album is the piano; one that has a lot of reverb and a pension for knowing what notes to play at exactly the right time. The backing instruments also will know exactly the correct notes, what order to play them in, and when to stop. The drums are the same thing... everything knows what it is and when to engage and when to stop. A rare quality in music these days.
The tracks on Cometa are elegant in their simplicity. Regardless of what the melody or instrument is, it always seems like it's the correct choice for the music. It's deceptively simple, yet so damn effective. Something that most albums miss.
