Cryptomnesia are signed to the Interdimensional label and are from Vancouver Canada.
They have been around since the late 80’s and have seen many line up changes. The only original members are Regan MacLeod and Michael Charlton who along with Nathan Kelly and Shane Handford comprise the new Cryptomnesia.
They appear on a lot of magazine and radio compilations and have released on cassette, vinyl and compact disc most of which is rare or out of print.
Their music is a mixture of electronic ebm, metal and prog rock although the recent compilation appearances have been more focused on a psychedelic electronic sound.
Following this description there is a review for their last album to be followed up by one in the works titled
‘Masters of Conspiracy.
Cryptomnesia
Hypnerotomachia (Interdimensional Industries)
By: Sean Strauss
In Music We Trust
Hypnerotomachia is the first solo flight for the Canadian trio Cryptomnesia. Apparently seven years in the making, Hypnerotomachia journeys through several labyrinths in its seventy-two minute running time leaving the listener exhausted, confused, fractured, divided, but with little regret.
Opening with a mad, blindfolded dash through the mind of a lunatic, Cryptomnesia members Regan, Terence, and Mikael then begin a well paced exploration through nightmare analysis, social commentary, desolation, depravation, and all those themes that make manic depressant keyboard programming tolerable for over an hour. Occasionally allowing moments of lovely raw bass lines, phrases of logical poetry, and an actual guitar chord to seep through the cracks keep Hypnerotomachia breathing and protect it from becoming a hybrid of ambient and metal that would destroy the essence of both genres.
