Øval The whole thing is an absolute corker. Peak Synkro! Favorite track: 1TO5.

Avocadoman "Realize" is a outstanding track. Great work!

Fuzzy Cogitator Synkro has rightly taken over and dominated the ambient breakbeat space with his mastery of both the style and the high production values. Images is his defining moment of 2019. An album reflecting past through the prismatic lens of the present - to absolute perfection. Favorite track: Waiting Room.

cogz Great analog sound, outstanding stuff!!! Favorite track: Running.

andrew williams Beautiful atmospherics from Synkro.Loved changes and basically anything that Synkro has had a hand in but Images takes his music production to the next level with this amazing piece of musical art.I just had to add that it's because of Synkro that I took the plunge and decided to start making music,thank you Joe. Favorite track: Blind Fate.

about

Synkro returns to Apollo Records with a brand new album 'Images.'

Since his last album ‘Changes’ released in 2015 Synkro has been exploring more ambient influences and introducing new studio techniques. ‘Images’ is heavily inspired by the 80s-90s new age/ambient movement and artists such as Andreas Vollenweider, Jon Hassel & Marc Barreca (as well as some Japanese ambient techno influences such as Susumu Yokota & Ken Ishii's early work), most of the music uses a full analogue set up, moving further away from McBride's earlier sample-based work.

Following a long trip to Japan, McBride became "addicted" to vintage synths, and returned to his studio in Derbyshire to write the album. The twelve-track long player still contains his trademark rural soundscapes suspended in a rich seam of hooks and emotive synth arrangements but this time with focus on more weightless, looming melodies that extend throughout the album.

‘Images' distils the pure essence of the Synkro sound, a step in a different direction from some of his more beat led releases and an alternative from his collaborations with Liam Blackburn (as Akkord) or more recently with Arovane. Yet the music is still immediately recognisable and it’s an album in the old fashioned sense that is best consumed whole.
