"A near 40 minute track in 5 parts, and from the opening, you’d be forgiven for thinking that you were listening to some lost outtakes from the Tangerine Dream “Oedipus Tyrannus” project, specifically the “Overture” track, as delicate, but deep, calmly atmospheric, slowly shifting, subtly changing waves of cosmic synths drift effortlessly into view, and it’s he perfect soundtrack for watching galaxies drift by, or exploring the “out there”, and at short of 12 minutes, arguably, just the right length.
Part 2 at just over 9 minutes, does actually continue from where the previous one left off, and along the way, this time, you’ll hear distant whispers, occasional footsteps, the clanking of long forgotten electronic machinery, in fact, the perfect soundtrack for any one of the legendary “2001" movies, when it comes to the slow motion viewing of the unexpected.
Whatever your headspace, the music is absolutely riveting, and as fine an exaple of constantly changing amorphous cosmic synth music, as you’ll encounter.
From there on, it’s a simply beautiful ride through the universe as the mood is maintained but the landscape changes and it’s not until the final track where we get hints of “Blade Runner”-era Vangelis, creeping in to add to its unfolding space music charms.
Although I hear a ton of space music, and often it’s difficult to separate the planets from the stars, this is one that I could listen to for as long as we all shall live – an absolute gem!! "
