4.0 excellentVoltimand | September 22nd 13

Simon Collins (son of Phil Collins) and Dave Kerzner (Sonic Reality) unleash an atmospheric album that takes you on a journey through space and time that borders on post-rock riffing.

Dimensionaut is the singular release by now defunct progressive rock band Sound of Contact. The songwriting partnership of Dave Kerzner and Simon Collins yielded a concept album of a "dimension traveler" exploring the inner workings of humanity. Subsequently the dimensionaut must confront his unclear future to either continue his isolating explorations or rejoin his partner for companionship. The album self titled opener followed by Cosmic Distance Ladder are atmospheric and rather resembling of Floydian ambience intermixed with Steven Wilson tonality. However from Pale Blue Dot onward, Dimensionaut takes on the persona of later day Genesis, especially with Simon channeling the vocals (along with his talent behind the drum kit) of his father. The comparison to Genesis is not to be taken as glib or a critical jab. There are no 80s overproduced synths with Sound of Contact (credit to Nick Davis on the mixing, a Genesis veteran). For progressive rock fans somewhat disappointed with the direction ultimately chosen by Genesis, Sound of Contact offers a rather fun "what if" alternative. Even the closing four segmented suite Mobius Slip seems to be a tribute of the golden era of Phil's band. Unfortunately the Kerzner - Collins tandem was not long lasting. However Kerzner's lyrics that would have been utilized for the next record ultimately was recorded as the double album In Continuum project and also provides a well worth listening experience.
