These sounds create a strange, almost cinematic atmosphere, taking the listener into a world that is\u00a0ethereal and slightly strange. This introduction acts as a deceptive stillness, providing the basis for a far greater change. As the track develops, it easily changes to a hard rock sound with a purposely raw and unpolished production. The guitar tone remains rough and harsh, boosted rather than softened by obvious 1980s influences. Instead of seeking for a polished finish, the sound appreciates its raw borders, giving the track a feeling of speed and authenticity that is\u00a0focused and confident. The percussion plays a key supporting role, giving a constant and driving beat that reinforces the music. While the drums maintain pace, the guitar takes full command as the main instrument, telling the story of this instrumental work. Constantly changing guitar solos move between moods and levels, making the track vibrant and engaging from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mystical Encounter by Holger Strunk\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F2241365138&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/holger.strunk\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/holger.strunk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/holgerstrunk.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/holgerstrunk.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/holgerstrunk\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/holgerstrunk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song begins with electronic elements that gently recall Kate Bush&#8217;s peaceful and artistic aesthetics&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[317,2369],"class_list":["post-29468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-hard-rock","tag-holger-strunk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29468"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29470,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29468\/revisions\/29470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
