About this album

PHASE 105: Sparse Investigative is a 13-song album from NEXT, released in 2025. It's film score and atmospheres, mysterious, dramatic and dark, built on piano, synth and fx. The songs run 90 to 166 BPM, in keys like F minor, B minor and C minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for film and documentary work, TV and news promos, trailers and sports. Every song comes with stems (bass, synths and percussion) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
