1- Confusion Illusion
2- Elevator Sunshine Girl
3- Cosmic Dessert
4- Magic Eye
5- Infection 268-7
6- Magnetic Air
7- Majestic Feeling
8- Blue Moon Station (album version)
9- Planet Zoo
10- Third Time (a-version)
11- Swimming With Stones
Coz idon't have the time, just some quick words to describe the global musical content of this second album from Magnus Bigersson.
It's typical deep ambient-electronica soundscapes from scandinavia.
Magnetic Air ,despite his name, makes me think about film 'le grand bleu' (sorry don't know how it was translated for other countries) and is particularly awesome.
Blue Moon Station got some soft tribal influences.
In Planet Zoo you'll encounter ome drum n' bass rythmn
Elevator Sunshine is a little more organic track with the presence of warm accoustic guitar.
I can also tell you that Cosmic dessert contains some soft industrial tones (crafty,electrico-metallic & shrill sounds)
So, a nice eclectic ambient album from Ultimae btw check also The very good part 3 of Fahrehneit project compiled by Koala released under the same label.
Highlights: 5,6
then:2,4,8,11
mark: 7,5/10 |

Here is the best chill album I heard in quite a while. Solar Fields, who is Magnus Birgersson from Sweden, presents us with a deep psychedelic trancey ambient CD that does beautifully just what ambient is supposed to do: be a relaxing musical background and in the same time offer a musical landscape to dive into with your mind. Blue Moon Station does both and in a way that makes you experience it literally, diving into relaxed and very chilled moments only to surface back dramatically and suck your mind and heart to alien landscapes. Some must be mentioned highlights here are the beautiful strings peace Elevator Sunshine Girl, the dramatic Cosmic Dessert that gives me goose bumps, the excellent trancey Infection 268-7, my favorite and most powerful track here- Majestic Feeling- fading and exploding dramatically again and again with tons of feel- sends shudders down my spine every time, and the aquatic beautiful and with a Jazzy-afternoon-feel Swimming with Stones. But it's all just great.
Bottom line: Best psychedelic chill album I heard in a long time. A real must. Favorites: 2, 3(!), 4, 5(!), 7(!!!), 9, 11.

Shahar, you stole the words from my mouth. This CD has been in regular rotation in my player for the last couple of months, and I never get tired of it. The production and attention to detail is astounding - it's one of those CDs which is more akin to a real journey of the senses than just a simple listening experience, and the rewards for repeatedly taking this journey are very high.
I was in love with Solar Fields' first CD when it came out, but Magnus has really outdone himself here. Quite simply this album is the crown jewel in Ultimae's catalog, and a must for anyone who likes intelligent chill with a dash of trance.
