Andrew Milner’s "Moments In Time" is a Cinematic Rock odyssey that refuses to stand still
Andrew Milner’s Moments In Time is not just an album—it’s an experience. Clocking in at a tight 33 minutes across 10 tracks, the record is a sonic whirlwind, fusing elements of punk, rock, shoegaze, orchestral, and cinematic influences into a cohesive yet wildly unpredictable ride. This is music that doesn’t just ask to be heard; it demands to be felt.
From the opening track, Moments In Time bursts out of the gate with an electrifying rock energy that sets the tone for what’s to come. Milner wastes no time (pun intended) in establishing his sound—massive guitars, dynamic percussion, and soaring vocal deliveries that remain a focal point throughout. There’s a relentless momentum to the record, with each track layering new textures and sonic flourishes, making it feel both expansive and urgent.
What makes Moments In Time stand out is its ability to balance raw, heavy-hitting instrumentation with deeply atmospheric production. One moment, you’re hit with walls of distortion-laden guitars reminiscent of post-rock and shoegaze titans; the next, you’re enveloped in an orchestral soundscape that wouldn’t feel out of place in a high-budget sci-fi film. It’s this seamless genre-blending that gives the album its cinematic, almost filmesque quality—every track feels like a scene, a chapter in a larger story.
Milner’s inspirations—ranging from Dragon Ball to F1, DOOM wads, and even random everyday sounds—manifest in a way that feels deeply personal yet universally engaging. There’s an almost chaotic beauty to the way influences weave in and out, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Whether it’s a soaring vocal passage that feels lifted from classic rock anthems or a sudden shift into something more ethereal and new age, Moments In Time never lingers too long in one space.
But despite its sprawling sound, the album never loses its core identity. Milner’s vocal presence is commanding—at times urgent and aggressive, at others introspective and haunting. The sheer range of emotion packed into these 33 minutes is impressive, making this an album that doesn’t just cater to one mood but instead moves fluidly through highs and lows. Certain standout tracks like “Progress” or “Yearn” certainly show off the range and emotion that he’s working with.
At its heart, Moments In Time is a record about movement—both sonically and thematically. It’s an album that embraces change, evolution, and the unknown, much like its creator, who refuses to be boxed into any single genre or artistic medium. For those seeking a record that’s both thought-provoking and sonically exhilarating, this proves that Andrew Milner is an artist worth watching—because if this album is any indication, he’s only getting started.
