Their song "Sapphire" was remixed by Norwegian DJ/producer Prins Thomas. [6]
Zombi's musical style was influenced by film score composers John Carpenter and Goblin, electronic music artists Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, and progressive rock bands King Crimson and Genesis. [9] 2011's Escape Velocity showed influence from Italo-disco and Krautrock. [9] Following their 2013 tour with Goblin, Zombi's style became more rock-oriented for their following releases.
