i threw out my copy of "Galaxy - Angel" a couple years back (along with DJ Chee I Sabbah - Shri durga Remix album) because I just didn't feel it....
but Science of Ecstasy is way better. has some fantstic 'sunrise' music in the middle of it... |

I never enjoyed the unresolved tension of his previous releases, the same tension found in a lot of psy downtempo from the mid/late 90s. Downtempo and ambient "yes" but chill out "no" in that one's mind and mood were not soothed. |

One of the best releases this year methinks...
The whole album is a meticulously crafted journey, especially the track that uses footsteps on a stony beach for the beat rhythm... top stuff from one of our scene's masters - grab a copy when you can!
 Within this timeless gathering,
a shining light does dance,
lost from conscious memory,
but visible in trance!

Review from Mike G. from "Ambient Music Guide", also Moderator of the Radioshows "Chillzone" on 96.9 FM Sydney
and "Ultima Thule" 102.5 FM Sydney .....
GALAXY
Science Of Ecstasy (Chillcode/Cosmophilia)
Galaxy is the downtempo project of softly-spoken Boris Blenn, the German composer behind psy-trance outfit Electric Universe. This all-instrumental opus is nothing less than one of the best electronic albums of its kind released in the past 30 years. This is a pure form of 21st century spacemusic, a psychedelic strand of electronica that can be traced to late-60's Pink Floyd and several of the Krautrock pioneers of the following decade. That sound has developed and morphed over the years, most recently absorbing some of the sounds of the dancefloor. Blenn's album puts the style well and truely back in the limelight - it made number #1 on the Deutsche Chillout Chart within weeks of release.
Science of Ecstasy is well named. It's a rapturous, richly-textured melodic excursion where classic ambient landscapes are enriched with the sounds of trance, techno and electro. Think of it a kind a slow-mo space pop for armchair traveling. The opening "Castle In The Blue Sky" sets the tone for pretty much the whole album. It teases with a long ambient intro, adding layers of sound with delay and reverb and building a slowly spinning melody, finally cascading over into a tight mid-tempo groove and electro bassline. It's to Blenn's enormous credit that the sheer prettiness of this album never becomes saccharine. Perhaps its the bittersweet moments that balance it out. "Disidentifcation" marries its sad, lovely melody with a kind of bleak, futurist longing that wouldn't be out of place on a Detroit techno record...except that Detroit techno producers don't "do" psychedelia, do they? A puzzle for purists, a joy for the rest of us.
The album closes with the beatless "Sunrise At Aguas Blancas", a drone-based piece of impressionism where short melodic phrases break the pristine surface like sunrays on dew. It's awe-inspiring, and the gentlest possible end to a journey that's worth taking many times over.
