Zoar's music is often advertised as "Music for the movies in your head." This is a fairly accurate assessment. After all, the music on "Cassandra" would make an excellent soundtrack for a non-existent (or, for that matter, an existent) movie. However, it would be rather unfair and simple-minded to simply pigeonhole "Cassandra" as an album of movie soundtrackesque instrumental music. The music stands on its own, with or without visuals. Of course, it is quite likely that listening to "Cassandra" will evoke visual impressions regardless, and even if you aren't really listening it still makes great background music for the various activities of the darkly-inclined.
You just can't get around this - there are plenty of keyboards on this recording. However, few recordings with such a preponderance of synthesizer manage to do so tastefully. The keyboards of Zoar are the woof of the tapestry, tying it together. Zoar possesses a Herzog-Wenders magic for transporting to a very real, very surreal place. They also employ 'sample- scapes.' Not just sound snippets referenced briefly, or soundbites repeated to a beat, but an aural pan shot of a situation overlaying the song like a multidimensional melody line. Music to kickstart that projector in your head.
