About this album

PHASE 27: Investigative is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2020. It's electronic and film score, mysterious, dark and determined, built on synth, piano and bass. The songs run 88 to 168 BPM, in keys like C minor, G minor and D 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 (percussion, piano and pulses) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
