Brigade’s 2025 Magnum Opus – A Dive into ‘Unlimited Dreams Corporation’
#brigade #vinyl #indiemusic
Growing in the bustling electronic music sphere of Berlin, the dynamic duo – Brigade – is back and they’ve brought an auditory spectacle that is mighty impressive. Much like a master blacksmith honing his craft, Brigade spent their years perfecting the art of creating music with samples. Their 2025 release, “Unlimited Dreams Corporation”, acts as a testament to their evolution. It reminisces their stellar entry with “Hard Times, Soft Music” in 2022 but takes their craft to a whole new level. They veer away from the beaten path, diving headfirst into the realms of forgotten, abandon vinyls and emerges with an elaborate symphony.
Embracing the narrative of a fictitious corporate entity that specializes in creating custom dreams, Brigade‘s “Unlimited Dreams Corporation” sets a trend for music in 2025. This angle, shrewd yet intrinsic, establishes a distinct flavor in their work, acting as a north star guiding the aesthetics of the album.
Unfolding across fourteen tracks, the magnum opus is an exercise in patience, akin to the languid pace of bedroom musicians putting their soul into their creation. Brigade‘s specialty, taking center stage, is their ability to weave together found sounds and field recordings with an artistic discipline that is in a league of its own. The result is an ambient sonnet with wave upon wave of warmth inviting listeners to experience it, again, and again.
This secondary album from Brigade isn’t one where the fantastical beats dominate; instead, it’s the seemingly mundane rhythms echo a lived experience. It’s the definition of an auditory masterpiece – ambient sounds that provide the liberty to pause and appreciate the subtle nuances, and the intricate, broken beats that are an ode to life itself.
The beauty of “Unlimited Dreams Corporation” is that it asks for nothing. It’s the epitome of a headphone album, revealing more layers, more intrigue, and more rhythm with every listen. You’ll find yourself discovering new elements within the tracks months after the first encounter. Heavily influenced by renowned artists like Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, Brigade bring forward their unique signature, altering the face of electronic music as we know it.
