eaglesynthmusic Romerium is an electronic artist that I have been following with great interest for quite some time.
Once again, this new album with a mixture of Berlin School/Industrial sounds certainly does not disappoint.
Very nicely varied album that I can definitely recommend to everyone.
Favorite track: Direct Coupled Exiter

Thaneco After the magnificent “Machine” album, this one goes beyond and surprises the listener with the powerful rhythms, samples and energetic sequences. A must have album for the lovers of Berlin school and industrial electronic music. Favorite track: Main Bus Reactor 5.

about

"Battersea Power Station" by Ro Merium is now out on Bandcamp and it fully lives up to the promise of its interesting concept (yes, it's the South London building on the Pink Floyd "Animals" sleeve). The music is industrial as you might expect, but the industrial percussion and metallic sounds are layered under melodic sequencers and synth passages. There's a lot of strong analog, but many of the textures are from digital synths sounding like slowly sweeping PPG Wave sounds (I don't suppose they're from a PPG Wave, there are lots of software packages which make this kind of sweeping texture now). Playing along are some digital and backwards voices, and a great set of samples sounding as if they're from power drills, crashing sheets of steel and other metallic thumps and bangs. All in all, it sounds like a collaborative track where Tangerine Dream from the mid-1980's were only allowed to do the sequencers and melodies, while Kraftwerk around "Trans Europe Express" period were only allowed to do the percussion. And that has to be a good thing - an unusual combination, and it might pull in fans of Nine Inch Nails, Graeme Revell's SPK and similar as well.

---------------------------------
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure. "Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" shut three years later in 1983. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space (occupied by Apple and No. 18 business members club), shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre (17 ha) site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.
