Sentient

x0riente Poetic, crystalline, elegant - "Sentient" is a perfect complement to "Escape...", focusing a bit more on rhythmic exploration. It may feel less painterly and more ascetic in the process (e.g. tracks like "Activate"), but if you stay tuned there's plenty of the cathartic synthwork and conceptual depth that made Oscillian a go-to act for me. Add vocal banger "The Brightest Cry" and a Blade Runner-esque "Coda" and you're in for a ride. Favorite track: The Brightest Cry.

Cyber Djinn A disturbing work because of this acoustic sensitivity, full of cybernetic poetry in the melodies. Sentient is a pure marvel of creativity. It is one of the albums that makes you feel good, that fills your batteries and leaves you with a back taste of metallic kissing. A masterpiece from beginning to end. Favorite track: Activate.

steffim After millions of albums, there are always some that stand out from the crowd. This is one of them. The whole album is just great, diverse and I want to listen to it for the rest of my life. Favorite track: The Brightest Cry.

Hello new world, I'm initialized I've got a brand new program running inside of me Hello new world, can we re-align? We need to clean up this code and interface Our connection is alive Our connection is alive When all the roads lead back to when we were young Then let the brightest path be the one that we take When all the sounds we hear are the ones we forgot Then let the brightest cry be the one that we make The one that we make

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
