Synth Single Review: “Aries’’ by The Pyramid
The Pyramid’s Aries has a noble, triumphant quality as it unfolds. The track begins as cosmic bass sweeps in along with slowly climbing, radiant synth glowing out above it. The main melody has an ancient nobility as it calls out and the bass rumbles thunderously below.
The lead synth rises with luminous power, flowing out in majestic waves. I find the touching and rousing nature of the melody compelling. Cymbals sweep briefly and the melody sails out with gleaming strength above the low end’s intense weight.
Bass begins to oscillate as cymbals add metallic sounds below the shining melody as it glides out, full of touching emotion. Planing synth chords flow out, tinged with melancholy, contrasting with the main melody’s rising encouragement.
The synth exudes a glistening light that suffuses every element of the track as the bass contributes its powerful presence. Images of gigantic spacecraft taking flight on a journey across the stars fill my mind before the track comes to an end on lambent synth.
