Well, this is one of those albums that rarely come up above the surface of our planet, providing us magical emotional trips to our inner self outside of reality world.
With a mix of mysterious urban scents and a unique combination of synthetic and organic atmosphere the London Based Ambient electroacoustic sound artist, producer and multi - instrumentalist James Murray created a beautiful tapestry of secret forests and gardens, hidden behind enchanted paths deep in the city, filled with crystal colorful sorcery and other life forms activity.
to create a strong unique signature sound and style is not an easy thing to do and James managed to do it in an amazing way.
from the 18 Dec, the day I received it from Ultimae I listened to it quite a lot and every time I listened I discovered something new that I didn't noticed before, and this is one of the beautiful things about good ambient,downtempo and good music generally.
with intelligent programming and just the right dose of acoustic sounds dripping into the mix, creating ethereal cinematic compositions of excellent, sophisticated and gloomy ambient with dazzling moving melodies and deep basslines, groovy brilliant rhythm sound architecture and very high quality production, James Murray has served us a beautiful album that touches the soul deeply and have a strong effect on the mind as well.
very futuristic !
another ambient downtempo epic from the Ultimae label.
the inside,outside cover artwork is really beautiful and the 16 pages booklet is great as well !
cheers !

the beautiful cinematic synth melodies in this album are just so deep,hazy and mind-blowing !
I just felt that I needed to say that because I forgot to mention that in my review
I think that there aren't enough words to describe how good and unique this album really is ! |
