Silicon Soul

tichepotato It's strange, hauntingly desolate. Incredibly fitting for the posthuman work it accompanies. It is the sounds of distant data spirals echoing off colossal towers of concrete and steel. There are thousands of miles between you and your destination, billions of steps to walk. And to walk is your only option.

This album encapsulates that. It embodies it. Favorite track: Memories of Earth.

Doomlord From the few that exist out there this has to be my favorite BLAME inspired album. Desolate and haunting, just like the cyber nightmare that is its source material. Favorite track: The Megastructure.

emilyduchamp Unique and emotionally evocative. Not only does this album capture the scale and proportions of this world, every track has its unique, raw emotional load: solemn, despair, hope, nostalgia, terror. The closing track works wonders. Silicon Soul is my second favorite. Favorite track: The Edge of the City.

about

Static races through your spine while a distinctly solemn resonance emits from the walls, like the heart of a dying synth.

Impossible structures reverberate and echo from miles away.

Enter The City.

An world-eating megastructure that stretches until the far ends of Jupiter. It is composed of nothing but pointless columns, corridors, stairways, masses of pipes, doors to nowhere and broken machinery. The scattered descendants of humanity have long forgotten about Earth and there is no trace left The City's origin.

Rarely do The City's inhabitants cross paths. Most silicon based humanoids, vagrant cyborgs and other uninvited strangers are left to wander for countless aeons with little rhyme or reason. Despite, or maybe owing to, the sheer existential terror faced by all 'life' in The City, they have their own stories to tell.

Still, nothing is ever gained and all remains lost in this labyrinthine tomb. Unless someone - something - can gain access to The City's control interface in order to stop its growth.

Based on Tsutomu Nihei's science-fiction masterpiece Blame!

-----

有機、金属、ハイブリッド物質の残響が何マイルも離れたところでねじれ、反響し、背骨を通って静かな競争が起こる。死にかけているシンセサイザーの心臓のようにはっきりと荘厳な共鳴が壁から発せられる。

街に入るストラクチャー。 それは、無意味な柱、不安定な廊下、階段、パイプの塊、どこにも通じない扉、壊れた機械で構成されている。 散在する人類の子孫は地球を長い間忘れ、かつての市の痕跡は残っていない。

木星の遠く端まで伸びる無意味に拡張する鋼のメガ

他の街に住む者が道を横断することはほとんどない。 シリコンベースのヒューマノイド、迷惑なサイボーグ、その他の招かれていない客人は、韻や理由がほとんどない無数のイオンをさまよっている。 単に実在する恐怖にもかかわらず、そのせいで、すべてに執着する価値のある原因がある。 彼らには伝えるべき自身の物語がある。

それでも、何も得られず、すべてがこの迷路の墓野中に失われたままだ。 世界をむさぼる規模の無秩序な拡大を止めるために、 誰か、何かが、街の制御インターフェースにアクセス出来ない限り。

弐瓶勉先生の『BLAME!』の世界に基づく
