“It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call…” Nexus’ new album, ‘Ninouki’. Mike Pougounas (New Zero God) returns with his Nexus moniker and a slew of heavy-hitting music makers, the result is a 7-track gothic opera that’s as shadowy as it is twisted and deep-rooted. A journey into the unknown and only made more revealing each and every play. An unparalleled set best described as textures of Dutch Falconi, Bowie, and Peter Murphy all in one. Highlights include the John Fryer remix “Rhythm of Life”, the vast “Star Thief” and brooding post-punk opener “The Words That Got Away”. But this album isn’t served properly by individualizing tracks, rather it’s a cohesive set that should be experienced from start to finish. It’s truly unlike anything on offer so far this discombobulated year." GLOBAL TEXAN CHRONICLES - Walter Price "Ninouki is a mixture of what was, what could be and what we shall become in the future. It all seems to tie into the theme of space and time, that we mere mortals are made of the same stuff of stars and return to dust…… so enjoy it while you can. Pougounas effortless flows from singing to dramatic spoken words, giving each track a nuance and capturing a moment. There are the the more rock aspects, mixed with the electronic and verbal artistry that make this new album from Nexus so easy to listen to, so 17 years have been worth the wait." ONYX MUSIC REVIEWS - Adele Sinnamon "The album is absolutely great as I told you before but I didn’t mention its color I think…this is a dark album mostly in all shades of dark smooth colors but in the end also quite radio-wise too as it is groovy, and a ‘fast’ record." WHITE LIGHT / WHITE HEAT - Mike D. "Fans of Nine Inch Nails, Mission, Black Needle Noise, and The Damned will be familiar with the vibe on offer with this group. Mike Pougounas of the world-renowned New Zero God reignited the flame of his old band when Covid prevented recording and the subsequent tour. The side-project that started it all for this scene-setting artist has a lot of juice left in the engine." SOUND READ SIX - Rowan Colver… Expand
