Hope Lynes discovers a multi-functional and versatile piece of work from the local producer
The title of this track from Arcade Skies is pleasantly misleading; instead of putting a lid on anything, the song uses a series of melodies to take the listener in different dimensions minute by minute.
The ambient synth of this track takes from the developments of Arcade Skies’ first and second EPs. The artist’s first EP epitomised an 80’s electronic style, whereas the second developed more experimentally, and Lid On A Scream perfectly blends the two styles into a multifunctional piece, one that you could both dance and relax to.
Ultimately, this is a well produced track that I would recommend to dance fans and 80’s nostalgics, and is a very versatile piece of production from the local independent producer.
