Slowly Fading Colors
Yesterday evening, Genox released his new EP by the name "Slowly Fading Colors". The EP includes 5 new tracks:
Aquarius
Proto Z
Trafficlights
Dling Dling
Resurrected Piano
Having listened to these 5 tracks over and over and over again, I believe I can say that this EP is quite a step forward for this artist, and a truly enjoyable one to listen to. The EP includes some nice surprises for the old fans, and also has a lot to offer to a wider range of new listeners. The 5 tracks are an amazing display of the artist's ability to smoothly flow through different genres and mix elements from different styles to create something very new, and yet containing the familiar Genox atmosphere. A very special collection of colors, which in turn brings me to the title of the EP.
With all due respect to the artist's truly interesting reasoning for choosing the title "Slowly Fading Colors", I can't help mentioning that the EP brings an image of a "Box of Crayons" to my mind a lot more than fading colors. To elaborate, I basically see the EP as a collection of colors, placed side by side in a so well selected order, that causes each color to stand out in their own turn.
All that being said, I believe it's time for you to listen to the EP, and develop your own opinion! =) So, check out Genox's blog post to download the EP.
Update: Just in case you can't load Genox's blog, you can download the EP directly from here.

Bravo, all of them! =)
Aase + Soren go bravo? This should be interesting.
This guy is getting better at each attempt, isn't he?
Damn it's good! It's a lot better than the last EP.
Yeah it really is a great EP. Doesn't he have a live performance somewhere?
Thank you for this detailed review. Of course, the title does provocate subjective views, as it is one very subjective view of myself, basically. The fading-color-aspect derived from the downwards-progression the whole EP consists of. The color of each tracks vary greatly, tho, the fading takes place on the level of diversity of theme, patterns and progression, the rather abstract/technical dimension of music, I guess.
This is actually very interesting and something whcih I encounter a lot: There are a lot of things depending on interpretation, the artists mostly does the interpretation a little bit different than the viewer/listener - during the production of something visual or acoustic, interpretation plays not a very big role (for me personally), since the process of creating something isn't based on concepts (it's different for all the concept GFX of course) but on the "flow of things happening when they happen". And even the concept GFX is 90% based on the flow, at least in my case.
*hee hee* But at the end of the day, this is what makes art interesting, different interpretations each minds create based on different experience, perspective, ideas, views ... colors. Endless possibilities..
Ok I sorta lost the topic meanwhile, I guess. =) Thank you for reviewing, thank you for the compliments. I enjoy doing what I do even more if there is someone enjoying the results. And most important: Thank you for providing me with the necessary inspiration for going a little bit further each time...
Trafficlights rules. The rest of them rule too but traffilights rules more. :)
Hmmm interesting, finally there's a track for me. =)
Resurrected Piano is "IT". Nicely done.
I see colors. Lots of them. I don't see fading.
Thank you both.
Dling Dling sounds somewhat odd to me. Perhaps it's not my cup of tea. The rest of them are awesome though.
Aasemoon, do you have a direct download link? I can't load the artist's blog!
Yeah I can't get it to work either. I get this SQL error.
Warren: I wish. =)
Genox: Thanks for the information. =)
Darren & Sean: I'm gonna add the direct link to the post right away.
Ok perfect. I just downloaded the EP and yes it does rule. :)
I really liked the Shades EP. Similarities wasn't for me really but now I like this one very much too.
Oh wow, Aquarius is fantastic. I like the rest of them too, but Aquarius is the best of this one for me.
Oh goodies, download link! :D
YES! :)
Ah well now I understand why you call this a step forward. Really is a step forward... the artist hasn't been wasting his time!
Love it. I looovvve itttt. Every track of it is great. Good job Genox.
Box of Crayons is more like it. :)
Well I have to second Tim. Aquarious is the best, although the rest of the are very good too. The Piano one is very new style.
There's everything in this EP. From noise to melodic piano. I like it.
I give it an A+.
I give it an A+++. :D
wow Resurrected Piano is totally different than anything else in this ep or the other ones! I like it quite a lot.
Beautiful work!
Hey there, well I finally got the chance to download the EP and listen to it. It has a very special style and very new for me. Enjoyed listening.
This one is closer to my taste. :)
2 thumbs up!
This is what I call diversity. Putting this EP together with everything else the musician has produced, this one has a very different feeling to it.
Aquarius is my fave from this album.
I like Proto Z most of all. :)
A+
Great to for a long drive!
Lovely :)
Oh man this is good! Nice going!
I like trafficlights. Well I don't like trafficlights but I like "trafficlights".
Forgot to say, I like aquarius too.
I still like various shades better somehow, but this one's so great too.
Super EP :)
Well I don't think the EPs are really comparable. Yeah there was something pretty special about Various Shades. But this one also has some very special new things.
I like the ep a lot. Can you tell me where to download the other eps from the same artist?
Just search Genox in archive.org
