ELECTRONICA
Ambient Teknology: Upbeat underground with shades of new wave
Horrorbox, by Ambient Teknology, is an EP homage to late great stars of silver screen history. All three tracks are designed to encapsulate the feel of 1930's horror, combined with 21st century electronic sounds, and give a unique combination of the old mixed with the present day. Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi are all mentors for this history of the horror movie greats.
