As with the other 65dos albums ONE FOR ALL TIME is entirely instrumental. They fuse guitar led progressive guitar rock with drum and bass, breakbeats and often full orchestration to create a sound that is a full-on assault to the senses as well as being truly epic in scale.
During the history of the band they've created many soundtracks which makes perfect sense, their sound being richly layered and perfect for widescreen cinema.
They formed to create their own soundtrack to an unreleased John Carpenter movie, Stealth Bomber. Since then they crowd-sourced funds to create their own recording if the Silent Running soundtrack and also supplied the accompaniment to the radio adaptation of the Kurt Vonnegut novel Slaughterhouse Five.
ONE FOR ALL TIME is an tense and tumultuous listen. The closest analogy would be Mogwai or Godspeed! remixed by the Aphex Twin. It's not just heavy in the bombast but it's dark and oppressive in tone too. This could have been the soundtrack to 28 Days Later or The Road. It's bleak. But there are seams of pretty melody underneath all the fuzz, white noise and broken beats, particularly on the 'Radio Protector' which ends the album in on an upbeat and euphoric note.
