On their debut album Context the duo already handled their analogue and digital synthesizers in an inventive manner.The result on Continuum turns out even better,offering 56 minutes of classic but fresh sounding electronic music.
The 9 tracks are filled with great melodic layers of sound, sparkling analogue sequencing and nice effects, although it must be said the longer tracks come on much stronger than the shorter ones.
Gentle Atoms e.g. is an excellent opener which vaguely reminds of the work of Baffo Banfi. On Solus, where the duo is joined by a guest musician on e-bow guitar, things get dynamic with some massive drum patterns and sequencing. This dynamic impact also applies to Empathic Implant which features some heavy drums.
In all, the very well produced music of Thought Guild is very attractive and accessible, and deserving both thumbs up.

************************************************************
This is the second album from the duo Thought Guild (Christopher Cameron on analogue synths and additional rhythm programming and Gergory Kyryluk on digital synths, samplers, and lead rhythm programming) and it's an excellent follow-up to their debut, [context]. In fact, Id actually rank it slightly higher than their premier release, even though the latter was an excellent disc in its own right. Listening to [continuum] is akin to finding oneself in retro EM/spacemusic heaven. If youre a fan of the classics from artists like Jarre, Schulze, Vangelis (at his best, not his bombastic worst), the late Michael Garrison, Patrick Gleeson, and even Kevin Braheny and possibly Michael Stearns, or if you enjoy comtemporary EM artists such as Enterphase, David Wright, Gert Emmens, and others who weave contemporary EM webs, youre gonna have to trust me on this one and just buy it pronto. You will not be disappointed!
