Metro Riders – Queen City Sounds and Art

Metro Riders’ “Aenigma” was inspired by Lucio Fulci’s 1988 horror film of the same name. And in the video we see a chain of gossip in a classroom at the boarding school where the film was set. Which fits track that has a clandestine feel, one might say it has a mood of late night contemplation and after dusk secret adventures. There is a slow oscillating melody over a pulsing low end drone and minimalist percussive tone holding an informal rhythm. But it maintains a deep sense of mystery and when the flourish of other keyboard sounds come in it feels like other secrets are unveiled even though we know nothing of the exact thoughts going into the track’s composition, it just imparts the emotional resonance of traveling further into an alluring mystery that might go tragically but not without a certain dark fascination with a tantalizing enigma.
