A wide array of sounds combining dark electro ,ethereal, alternative/goth rock.
The Lower Third is James Crane, a visual artist who has been composing music with assorted instruments and music software on the computer since early 2003....in 2004, he developed and completed material for his first CD. This was a hurried project so more completed material was added and songs reworked for the second release in 2005. Coming from various reviewers, the album has been considered warm and organic, a blend of retro and modern, from 70's-esque ambient analog synth pieces to rhythmic new wave/electro dirges with comparisons to Bowie's "Crystal Japan" early Pink Floyd and Jean Micheal Jarre. Comprised of many genres of music, most notably dark ambient - ethereal and alternative/gothic rock, the majority of the sound is instrumentally energetic & dreamy, with "take you away to another time and place" resonances, creating a spiritual "trip" full of flights of fancy for the listener. In addition to the ethereal instrumental sound are songs which are rock oriented with shaded toned lyrics examining the fundamentally murky nature of the human condition. The work is ever evolving, moving in many directions with priority given to dark emotional soundscapes which might be the core element for the forthcoming CD.
