Pillion - Enigmas

Artist: Pillion
P: 2019
In 1978, Walter and Guy ran into each other at ELK-Muziek a small non profit organization in Antwerp which developed and build modular Synths. At that time Walter was already a touring & performing artist, while Guy was carving his way as a sound sculptor and Musician. Both shared a passion for Electronic music and wanted to compose something new and rather different, so it did not take long before they decided to join forces and place their mark on the emerging scene of Space Music. Thus in 1979 Pillion was born.
After one year of experimenting and rehearsing, tryouts and gigs were announced, culminating in the ultimate recording of Enigmas in an auditorium near Brussels in 1980. And new the restored and CD release is available of this great music!!
Composed By, Performer [Performed By] – Pillion Synthesizer, Sequencer – Guy Drieghe, Walter Christian Rothe

Pillion - Halcyon

Artist: Pillion
P: 2006 / 2012
Pillion’s "Halcyon" is an album that was shelved after it was recorded in 2006, taking another two years before it was remastered.
The concept album tells a story about the changes in life one has been forced to do, if you have no choice, confirming what Pillion was all about: a way of life, a message, a vision, being yourself and "freak out"."Halcyon" was actually composed for a stage play, based on the little Greek mythology story which can be read on the cd-cover.
Well, the six overall melodic tracks, made with a couple of musicians Walter was on tour with in 2006, more or less continue in the tradition of the Pillion style. I dare even say it turns the music of the "Enigmas"-release fully inside out. Due to the energetic guitar work by Peter Heijnen and the accompanying power drums and percussion by Herwig Duchateau, the outcome sounds more progressive and rock-influenced.
At times, the sequencing and used sounds realm in the aura of TD’s classic music. "Halcyon’s" at times cinematic, music offers lots of breaks, giving the impression there was a lot of improvisation going on during the recordings. This makes the 66- minute album versatile, but also needing various spins to fully grab it.
