About this album
PHASE 92: Inquisitive is a 27-song album from NEXT, released in 2024. It's electronic and film score, built on synth, bass and pulse. The songs run 90 to 150 BPM, in keys like Bb minor, C minor and G minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for investigation, crime, thriller and documentary. Most songs come with stems (piano, strings and bass) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
