Biography
1) That Steve Moore (b. 1975) makes his home an hour north of NYC in the misty Hudson River Valley—just across from Washington Irving’s legendary Sleepy Hollow—seems maybe too coincidental. As one-half of Zombi, in which he plays synthesizer and bass guitar, the Pittsburgh native’s affinity for unsettling mood and motif is well-documented over the band’s two self-released EPs and three Relapse releases.
Zombi provided Moore with the chance to turn his blood-red obsession with U.S. and Italian horror films of the 1970s and 1980s into his own brand of cinema for the ears—preferably ones capped with headphones in a darkened room, black candles optional. Armed with a bank of analog equipment and with drummer A.E. Paterra aboard, Moore drew evenly from his years of university music study as well as cassette-tape pedagogy under horror-soundtrack composers John Carpenter, Fabio Frizzi, and Goblin. Gradually, Moore’s infusion of Zombi’s music with progressive-rock elements reached an apex with the “Cosmos” album. Arrangements growing in scope and ambition, fusion-informed rhythmic complexity, and even the odd keyboard solo and anachronistic MIDI sequence recalled not only the mid-1980s AOR-prog of Rush, but also the works of Tangerine Dream and Jan Hammer.

Vaalbara is okay. I listened to it once or twice, but I have trouble getting into it as it has some of the longer more drone passages that I don't prefer as a fan of this style.

That review was for the Demo 2003 LP, not Vaalbara. I've got the demo 2003 LP and it's not anywhere near as good as The Henge. I've heard the Vaalbara sample and it sounds pretty good, but I'd like to hear if anyone has heard the whole thing.

This man can do no wrong, fantastic stuff. 'Introduction' sounds very similar to a piece from Burial Ground/The Zombie Dead.
