About this album
PHASE 2 : Pulses is a 21-song album from NEXT, released in 2019. It's electronic and film score, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, bass and pulse. The songs run 85 to 168 BPM, in keys like Eb minor, E minor and C# minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (pulses, synths and piano) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
