Eric Prydz – Opus
After years of lying relatively dormant, Eric Prydz has come out of his shell to take over the world of electronic music. In a musical movement that relies so heavily on the constant release of new tracks, it’s almost unheard of for an artist to make music for a decade and not release it – but that’s exactly what Prydz did, and now that he’s unveiled it to the world, he’s set the stage for a debut album of epic proportions.
“Opus” is the most noteworthy part of his upcoming, self-titled debut album. Featuring the long, driving progressions and etherial arpeggios that have become the DJ/producer’s calling card, “Opus” swells up into a crescendo of raw emotion – with a brilliant simplicity that echoes the timelessness of every significant release since the beginning of electronic music.
