Andrew
Sega (Necros) (Now working as 'The Alpha Conspiracy'):
Aura
The Alpha Conspiracy is synonymous with
the musician Andrew Sega, known by many in the scene as
"Necros".
This is his second professional release
(actually the third, if you include his collaboration EP
with The Low Technicians, entitled "Forward
Rewinding"), and the style is something I would
call intelligent electro, based on equal weight between
grooves/textures and melodies. Sometimes it almost sounds
like it's inspired by the better part of 80's pop music
such as Human League or Kraftwerk etc, only with a sound/production
that sounds darker, dirtier and more modern.
From Andrew's own description: "2004
brings us the second release from the electronica project
The Alpha Conspiracy. "Aura" is a complex, textured
record, which combines elements of many electronica styles
(IDM, trip-hop, nu-breaks, industrial) into a moody, powerful
whole. Following the path laid down by such bands as Underworld,
Plaid, and Meat Beat Manifesto, "Aura" is an exploration
of the boundary between pop structure and abstract, rhythmic,
soundscapes."
