About this album

PHASE 65 : Minimal Investigative is a 17-song album from NEXT, released in 2022. It's electronic and film score, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, bass and piano. The songs run 88 to 164 BPM, in keys like D minor, C minor and Eb minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and commercials. Every song comes with stems (pads, pulses and bass) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
