Tepidarium II cover art

I felt it would only be right for me to point out that, despite the description of the album saying otherwise, AI was clearly used for the cover of this album. Now, it should be noted that if your cover art is some generative skid mark I'm going to assume the music is the same and skip over it entirely - this, however, is the first album sent to this site for review, to my knowledge, to use A.I. defecated imagery for it's cover art. Again, the cover art, I must emphasize that, as from what I can tell, the music is 100% man-made.

The actual music though? Well it's electronic-ambient music that is probably Oxygène's lost descendant. It's very nice overall, textures coming and going, arpeggios running up and down at a walking pace, very-very-very clear Jarre influence all over it—there's a little funk, a little pep in it's step, which is lovely. All I have to say about the music are good things.

I will be listening to Trepidarium I, I'll likely enjoy it if it's anything like it's sequel, but I must implore Tangram to avoid using A.I. generated visuals in the future because, had I not had to listen to this album for the sake of this review, I never would have known how wonderful it was and would have skipped over it whilst looking for something more clearly human-made.

Uncertain times.
