Tulipomania – Then and Only Then
Tulipomania’s track “Then and Only Then” is a music journey through a sonic landscape that feels like a natural progression from their previous single, “You Had To Be There.” The distinctive and dramatic electronic layers that defined the earlier release persist, offering a psychedelic experience that transports listeners to an unexpectedly romantic virtual realm. The dynamic interplay between Tom Murray’s and Cheryl Gelover’s vocals is a highlight of the track, forming a compelling duet that adds depth and emotion to the overall composition. The infusion of electric and electronic instruments creates a strange yet enticing experimental mix, reminiscent of U2’s late 1990s era and Nine Inch Nails’ early works. This blend of influences contributes to a unique sound that sets Tulipomania apart in the music landscape. Despite the industrial elements in the mix, “Then and Only Then” manages to maintain an ethereal and erotic mood, resulting in a mysterious and beautiful audio experience. The track skillfully combines seemingly disparate elements, creating a musical atmosphere that is both intriguing and evocative. Whether you’re a fan of electronic, psychedelic, or experimental music, this track offers a unique and immersive sonic journey that is well worth exploring.
