Dark Model album review on Ellenwood

“Like metal, most electronic music with a classical bent nowadays only contains vague nods or heavy sampling/covering of old classics but each Dark Model piece has been lovingly crafted by Oe and is its own stand-alone work, merging an electronic genre such as dubstep or techno with an original orchestral score. This may be why this new project sounds so unique, and why each piece has an epic and emotive quality, fit for a blockbuster movie or the opening to some sort of games. The only real way to experience the power of this project is to listen.”

This is a comment from a very insightful review on Ellenwood. I love this article and would like to give a shout-out to the author Layla Marino (http://dropweirdsci.blogspot.com/).
