About this album

PHASE 42 : Investigative is a 10-song album from NEXT, released in 2021. It's electronic and film score, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, percussion and bass. The songs run 89 to 150 BPM, in keys like D minor, A minor and Bb 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 (keys, pads and piano) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
