Moderator releases a cinematic journey of sound in 'Sinner's Syndrome'

Moderator, a self-described mastermind of cinematic beat construction, has just released his newest album, Sinner's Syndrome via Melting Records. This latest offering is an exceptionally thoughtful and painstakingly arranged manifesto, check it out below:

Sinner's Syndrome is a fourteen track masterpiece of a calibre that is on the brink of unrivaled. The album opens with a blues guitar riff that oozes sadness and screams pain as the spoken word sample sets the tone of the journey you are about to embark on, "It's as though there was something way off beyond that no one even knows about yet." 

A single sentence that encapsulates the entirety of the feeling being sold here on this album. Throughout the album we get this heavy dose of distorted guitar samples with riffs that mesmerize and transport us to a world beyond. Moderator has turned out an album that takes everything musically of note from the soul and blues styles from the 50s and 60s, revamped and re-edited it for a post ambient electronic 2000s world. 

If you are into beats crafted from exceptional crate digging and creative use of spoken word coupled with soul samples then Moderator's Sinner's Syndrome is your album. Put this record on and close your eyes because you are about to listen to a cinematic work of outstanding artistry and skill.
