Description
Fortress of Solitde marks the transition from Stark's gothic trance & ethereal works into the realm of synthpop and darkwave. His alluring and enchanting voice brings a new level of artistry into the music that maintains the level of intimacy brought about by composing and producing the entire project on his own.

"Fortress of Solitude" review by Horst Schneider of SynthPoP For The Masses http://www.synthpop.at
Fortress Of Solitude is James D. Starks full-length debut album which includes about 10 tracks. James D. Stark describes himself a darkwave artist. Well, that's exactly what his music reflects. Fortress Of Solitude represents consistently melancholy mid-speed electronic music including lots of dark and gothic ingredients. I have the heart to say that James D. Stark developed his own unique darkwave electronic style which he enriched with his convincing good singing. Despite the use of electronic instruments the album sounds pleasant warmth and authentic which was intensified by his serene singing. James also adapted the Depeche Mode song "Halo" that it perfectly fit with the rest and does not raise any idea originally being a Depeche Mode composition. "Fortress Of Solitude" is able to create an inimitable melancholy atmosphere without leading to tedium - thanks to the sallying songs "Need", "Tears In The Dark" and "Home". Well, James D. Stark imposingly showed his skills in producing empathetic music based on matured compositions and excellent vocal qualities. It's a good feeling holding this little masterpiece in the hand.
