San Diego's solo project Francis Roberts has returned with a new recording which continues his mixture of dark ambient, dungeon synth and neo classical from his previous releases and this is a review of his 2020 album "The Friends You Met Along The Way" which was released on cassette by Pacific Threnodies.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some percussions in the background which also gives the music more of a tribal feeling while the synths bring in elements of space and dark ambient. At times the recording can also get very cinematic sounding as well as adding in some psychedelic touches.
After awhile the music also starts mixing in more of a dungeon synth style while most of the music also sounds very improvised. The synths also add in a variety of many different sounding keys along with the recording also showing an influence of neo classical, all of the music is also instrumental as well as the only track that is presented on the album being over 30 minutes in length, and as the album progresses the music also gets more diverse sounding.
On this recording Francis Roberts remains true to the mixture of dark ambient, dungeon synth and neo classical that he had established on previous releases as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Francis Roberts and if you are a fan of dark ambient, dungeon synth and neo classical, you should check out this recording. 8 out of 10.
