What I Have Not Forgotten, the follow-up EP to Dying Machines' debut, Nicht Sprechen, is a journey through the unresolved feelings of youth. "So We Lived" is an uplifting track that builds slowly from quiet uncertainty into a massive distorted crescendo of resolve. The muted piano and more spartan sonic landscape of "Prisoner's Cinema" plays against the lone cello of "None Of That Matters Now" creating moods as epic and cinematic as they are beautiful. A musical farewell, "It Has Been" once again uses guitars to weave a melancholy tapestry wrought with emotion while the title track, "What I Have Not Forgotten" finishes off the EP by drenching the listener in a slowly building ambient wash of reverberating strings and guitars. What I Have Not Forgotten further drives Dying Machines' stake in the ground as a unique creative force in next-generation neo-classical drone.
