Lunatic Soul - Gutter (from Walking on a Flashlight Beam - by Riverside's Mariusz Duda)
Walking on a Flashlight Beam is Riverside frontman Mariusz Duda's fourth album with solo project Lunatic Soul. The fifth album, coming in September 2017, is called Fractured, watch the teaser here - http://www.kscopemusic.com/ls/
Walking on a Flashlight Beam serves as an incredibly emotional prequel to the first two Lunatic Soul albums, and covers a theme of self-imposed solitude and has a strong sense of foreboding with the knowledge that the first two albums focus on death and the afterlife.
Commenting on his fourth opus in 2014, Duda said: “These are very dark and intense compositions but very melodious too. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever written, if not the best one”.
The artwork was created by the renowned cover artist Travis Smith who has previous created covers for the likes of Opeth & Riverside.
"It's often like the best film music... distinctly dramatic, verging on gothic from the opening eerie noises... honours the Pink Floyd branches of the Porcupine Tree" - Prog Magazine (UK)
"In nine pieces he creates a soundscape that has no equal. With this album he recommends himself for a collaboration with Steven Wilson. A collaboration at eyelevel." 9/10 - Eclipsed, Album of the Month (DE)
"Impressive as all the Lunatic Soul albums have been, this is almost certainly Duda’s most impressive offering to date." - Echoes and Dust (UK)
"Duda sounds so much like Depeche Mode, David Sylvian and Steven Wilson that you might consider [the] highest chart positions [for] songs like "Gutter" and "Treehouse". With album #4 he delivers the strongest/convincing album of his solo project" - Visions (DE)
