review by Progression Magazine, May 2004:
THOMAS SIMON: Sound Scape 2002 (CD, 49:52); Endorphin 005V Style: Electronic/goth soundtrack
Thomas Simon is a New York City multi-media artist who has self-released several albums of stimulating soundtrack material that occupies an alternative space via an eerie progressive cross-breeding of goth and grunge. Born in Vienna, Austria, Simon embraces a world-beat approach to music by creating cinematically inspired compositions that know no bounds, even blending tabla and didgeridu into his darkly meditative concoctions. Simon exhibits an excellent sense of building space and rhythm, performing in a noir-ish style that sometimes recalls Dead Can Dance and other 4AD artists. On the few vocal tracks, he seems inspired more by the darker work of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The 14 tracks on Sound Scape represent a sampling of his spooky soundtrack work, mostly dark-wave instrumentals that have a generally nightmarish quality to them. His sonic images are usually quite evocative as he is quite adept at fusing strong tribal and industrial influences, triggering the imagination to his film-inspired delights. -- Mark Newman

Artist: Thomas Simon CD: Sound Scape Reviewed by: Mike Ventarola
Thomas Simon is a new name to this reviewer, though he is not new to the artistic community by any stretch of the imagination. His music has been featured on commercial and college radio, commissioned for film soundtrack work, and even featured as part of a number of multimedia events around the globe.
Overture/outro: kicks off this CD with a rather darkly morose element of tension. It is pervasive, as though one is walking down a corridor, not knowing what will jump out.
Insane: immediately splices into the reverie with a trip hop yet industrial style
