Approaching the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, Switzerland’s The Kompressor Experiment discovered the perfect way to follow their debut album while simultaneously paying tribute to a visionary and a film that have been indisposable in their own journeys as artists. The resulting work is their compelling re-imagining of 2001, a 65-minute exploration of science fiction, space, sound and fury that interprets tones and textures from the film through a lens of post-metal and prog-rock, assembling them into a unique reverie intended as a loose companion to the celebrated imagery held within Kubrick’s film.
