"Saint Dymphna" is an experiment with sounds like most other electronic albums. I like to think for the most part that I can find the worth in electronic albums that are a little more experimental but I couldn't see it this time.
There are a few moments in this album that weren't too bad. There is a piece in the middle of "First Communion" with some nice interplay between a guitar and a few keyboards. "House Jam" feels somewhat more like a song than many of the other pieces with a nice lead vocal track and several backing vocal tracks.
On the other hand, "Inners Pace" doesn't really go anywhere and feels quite odd. It is essentially like being blasted with binary code while being asked to translate to English. "Desert Storm" is littered with female vocals that are either off key or not even notes and more like screeches.
I try to stay open minded when listen to more progressive or experimental music but I just couldn't get around this album. It was like a math equation that just wouldn't balance out.
