Yes, I try to keep my expectations on a realistic level. I'm sure the sound is more refined and he is trying some new stuff. I don't expect a new Leaving Home, and obviously there can not be another Leaving Home I still hope for some kind of jorney though, maybe not as majestic as aboved named album. But still a good jorney. Yeah, it's from the Ultimae newsletter, samples should be up soon it says. I'll get back when it does.

Bluetech - What The Night Reveals :posford:

I think I'll just wait a little longer killing myself, gotta hear this album out Oh, Solar Fields Fields previous albums are also available for pre-order now.. Leaving Home Preorder

Ok I just wanted to pick on someone...

Here's is a review of the game Review He is commenting on the soundtrack in the end. "The wonderful soundtrack is tailor made for such a steril place. A sort of ambient cool that's somehow seems friendly without warmth" I doubt Magnus would produce any music that hasn't warmth in it. This wanker might be a good game reviewer but he knows NOTHING about music.

Artist: Bluetech Album: Phoenix Rising Label: Somnia Records Release date: 07.11.2008 Format: CD So what we all have been eagerly waiting for is finally here. New material from Evan Bartholomew under his to us most known name Bluetech. For a couple of years Evan has been experimenting under different aliases and has released some great piece of arts. Namely, Caverns of Time, Secret Entries into Darkness. These two releases has undoubtedly stayed in the region of psychedelic downtempo whereas another release Borderlines, did stray a bit form this path into a more ”standard” ambient route with alot of acoustic elements. Also a collaboration with Steve Hillage that has surpassed me but seems to be very popular among the scene. There is also the tech house project, that I found awful, and others with me (abasio? ). But to the point. The new ”mini” album Phoenix Rising that is as to say a little prequel to the ”real” album coming out on Aleph Zero in a near future still features alot of tracks and many minutes of listening pleasure. Cause this is really what this is all about, listening pleasure! Evan has moved away from the traditional Bluetech sound. If his earlier releases were a little bit more dub, and almost glitch like influenced, Phoenix Rising is much more straightforward. Much less complex but also much more beautiful. The jazzy vibe is still here, very much so in the track Invocation (ft. Alyssa Palmer) with alot of piano and other acoustic elements in it. This is a slow track, and also noticable is the nice use of voices in the background that Evan surely has implemented from his great Caverns of Time. This is melancholic yes in a sense but very beautiful with great composition and production. Another element that is noticable is that Evan has moved into more a more darker approach. This is highly obvious in the opening track My Dear Friend Chronos, wich has a rather dark feel over it, but still with some very beautiful piano strings coming in from time to time. Without this very subtle element, the track might have felt way to dark, but very cleverly Evan manages to make a perfect mix. This is also a very straightforward track, as I stated earlier, this is not as hard digested as earlier stuff, it's more ”sit back and just enjoyyyyy the ride”. Having listening to this for some time now and many times, I can assure you that the lack of complexity is not harming in any way. The tracks just sound as great as the first time I heard them or even better. A way of explaining this perhaps might be if you remember the tracks Leaving Winter Behind and Wilderness, this is more an evolution of such tracks still with a little more combining of the older dubby stuff and also throwing in a new few elements in the mix. It's very nice how the tracks really define themselves rather uniquely. This is done with small but very noticable variations. The elements of acoustics is to me a great feature. As in What The Night Reveals, with alot of flute appearing as a central ingredient. Very nice indeed. This track at first feel good and light, but after around half of it's length starts moving into some darker territory again. And it's worth saying again how Evan manages to take us into these regions without you even noticing. Somehow a illusion is created whereas you think you are in some light and beautiful place. Kingdom Of The Blind is my favourite track on this release. It starts off rather brutally with a kinda hard slow beat, and is keeping it throught the song. This is not to say there are worse tracks here, a Delicate Mystery and Riding The Sky Elevator feels to me like fillers. But this doesn't matter at all since all the other tracks are just astounding. All in all I like this new approach on Bluetech sound from Evan. It is obvious that he has learned alot from experimenting with other genres and projects. Much of it is implemented in this release. Having waited along time for new Bluetech stuff, it was well worth it now that we have the end result in our hands. If you want better descriptions of the tracks, wait for Abasios or any other review. I don't like that kind of approach since music is so individual in it's subjective experience (and I suck at describing sounds). Just hear this out! The whole album is available for listening on Somnias website Somnia. Also I want to thank p(sy)ayam for letting me hear these tracks some time ago so I was able to get this review out so quick!
