PHIL WHYMAN (presenter and expert from TV's 'MOST HAUNTED' series) has been composing and performing synth-intrumental music from the early age of fourteen. His style of music has been likened to
composers such as Jean Michel Jarre, with its mix of hypnotic sequences and arppegios gaining him many admirers.
His first album WITHIN THE MATRIX was received with great interest and reviews, with one reviewer writing:
"Within the Matrix' opens with an up tempo electro-melody called 'Prophet', not hugely dissimilar to the works of Garrison or Jarre, whilst holding its own sense of uniqueness at the same time!
The entire album is made up of electro melodies, with styles similar to those of artists Jean Michel Jarre , Michael Garrison, Robert Miles & Gary Numan. The tracks themselves cover a wide range of musical variety, most evidently dance, trance & electro.
The album is full of surprises, and a must have for any electro, trance or dance fan.
The 16 tracks keep an amazingly high quality and the approach varied. With 16 tracks on offer it’s often difficult not to feel an air of deja-vu now and again, but Phil Whymans 'Within the Matrix' album respectably manages to surprise the listener and avoids being too repetitive.
This album is without a doubt an accomplished selection of modern EM pieces. Sequencer fans in the mode of Jarre and Garrison especially will find this hugely appealing.
An unashamedly commercial album full of cracking good tunes and infectious rhythms. Any of the classic UK synthesists come to mind such as Ian Boddy, Mark Shreeve and John Dyson. There is also a hint of Jarre."
