This new Shrapnel album is quite interesting, as it differentiates clearly from the so numerous "guitar virtuoso only" CDs released by this label. Stylistically, Eniac Requiem can be considered neo-classical prog metal, but the main discrepancy in comparison to the aforementioned albums stems from the sound: it has a strong emphasis on keyboards which - on the contrary of Vitalij Kuprij for example - focus on atmosphere building. The result is a "background layer" dominated by a "space sound". Except some fast songs, most compositions are rather played on a slow tempo, increasing the weird "ambient" sound. This landscape is completed by a dull rhythmic guitar and somewhat boring riffs. The vocals and the solos however enhance the overall effect, finalizing a globally atypical neo-calsssical metal album.
