Imagineering Album Review

Imagineering is the first proper album from Module (aka Wellington – via Canada – musician Jeremiah Ross) since 2005’s Remarkable Engines; that’s not to say Module has been idle in the past 6 years – there’s been the 70+ minute, single track Dreams For The Sleepless, and a live album released to keep us, and Module, occupied. Those releases haven’t seemed to garner the attention that Remarkable Engines did though, which is a shame as it’s seen Module sort of disappear from our musical landscape (or perhaps just mine).

Imagineering has a somewhat darker sound, and is more introspective than the previous album, but is a much mellower listen at the same time, and should be as successful, if not more so, than its predecessor.

It still sounds distinctly like Module though and is an instantly likeable album, full of beeps and blips and quirky samples, and intriguing rhythms and sonic layering that will start to mess with your mind.

The album is mostly laid back and the tempo doesn’t really pick up until towards the end of the album with the penultimate track, Endlessly Ocean, being as close to a return to the funkier form of Remarkable Engines as we’ll get from this release.

It’s not often that the title of an album fits the tone so perfectly but Imagineering is the ideal soundtrack to your daydreams.
