Bruce Cohen's track "Blue Stomp" is a polite, solid take on retro sci-fi vibes arranged unto safe patterns of resilient trance fascinations. The name of the game is chill, and no black holes worth inspecting are imminent this time, Miss Hawking.
Movement is sanely sacrificed for the establishment of mood. A well sculpted-, yet deliberately isolated sonic structure greets your senses both in the form of the intro-, and, in the form of the outro. You are not organic, not machine, but something happened, in between. Optimal effect! A cool experiment on display, that has nothing to do with the subject matter other than the act of courting it from both ways. Then the track is quick to reveal its character as being assembled from individually thought out parts, and surprises of baffling chacater are deliberately absent from the mix.
The organic musical backdrop itself is bare-to-the-bone enough to summon the classic tint of video game culture as it was raging through the early '80s and '90s. Did you ever type "Final Signal" and "Moody Breeze" yet into YouTube? Those were and still are fun themes, filled with a playfully soul-crushing sense of isolation and irrefutable doom, (trapped in open space comes to mind) moods akin to the one featured in Blue Stomp - read on to know more about it.
As hinted, the central melodic idea that ensues at the middle of the composition, invokes a retro sci-fi feel with enough charms in it to soak a pair of ears into it via two consecutive turnarounds. Cohen's creative conduct fortunately is experimentive enough to market the lead melody with a harmonious collision-pair on each repetitions, and a nice understanding of the operations of introspective retro sci-fi indeed is observable when the two lines are flirting with each other to the conlcusion that you will be inevitably sucked into outer space, and you will have a terrible day indeed, but you still have time to make amends as a legitimate participant in the consciousness ecosystem. Since the nature of the song is more of a chill-out character with a well established pulsation to it, the track ultimately arrives to its conclusion with the unchallengeable notion that the message was delivered through the mere elegant simplicity on auditory display - and such is the case indeed.
