because....it's not a DJ mix!!! Kinda obvious question

Something to look for in the new year then. Cheers guys

That's good stuff right there! Try also Interior horizons. That's if you can find any of these that is

I'd just put FOL on repeat

Well I must admit I'm being very selfish here. I thought that I want my favourite artists would make more music in the style I liked best if they got more recognition & sales for that style so if I got other people to hear just how good they were they might buy some CDs so said artists could keep producing music so my future is that much happier. Very selfish in the end

what do they sound like?

Butterfly Dawn

No I never listened to Amber. Tri Repetae & all the horrible compilation tracks put me off & Autechre albums here are always really expensive so I've never been tempted to part with my (now) hard earned cash for something I'm sketchy about.

Hahaha Fantastic

There was none in Oxycanta : Winter Blooms either, but I was not too upset, the music on both CDs is top drawer stuff

I thought it was easier as everything you could buy sounded so good Now there is so much to shift through

Nice, definitely one of my picks of the year Never got into Autechre

Play really underground shit like britney spears & Eminem

Yeah but it doesn't save any music, just a php file that doesn't play any mp3 or wav downloads?

Scorb - Tower of klorox

I want to hear that

The Orb The Dream Traffic Inc. 2007 Tracklist 1 The Dream (The Future Academy Of Noise, Rhythm And Gardening Mix) (6:25) 2 Vuja De (5:45) 3 Something Supernatural (0:36) 4 A Beautiful Day (6:48) 5 DDD (Dirty Disco Dub) (5:03) 6 The Truth Is... (6:43) 7 Phantom Of Ukraine (0:30) 8 Mother Nature (6:30) 9 Lost & Found (6:19) 10 The Forest Of Lyonesse (1:09) 11 Katskills (5:55) 12 High Noon (6:03) 13 Sleeping Tiger & The Gods Unknown (1:09) 14 Codes (8:13) 15 Orbisonia (5:47) 16 Let The Music Set You Free (7:01) The Orb's latest release has been out for some time in Japan but I still see no release anywhere else. This is definitely one for fans of Alex Paterson. Fusing ambient dub, reggae, ragga & psychedelica in with nice basslines and some cool melodies. Interspersed with Orb style samples. The opening track The Dream (The Future Academy Of Noise, Rhythm And Gardening Mix) has a very Orb like spoken female vocal reminiscent of Little Fluffy Clouds & Apple Tree in My Backyard. The rest though is a very tight little psychedelic dub number, the ambience floats your mind while the vocals my it trip away. Vuja De meanwhile is not so dreamy, much more urban in style. Closer to pure dub but with some trippy little sounds & a female singing like it's 1990 again. Think early 90's rave infused into modern dub. The short track Something Supernatural is just a collection of samples put together. Quite a trippy especially the Ohayo Gozaimus backwards one. Following that comes my favourite on the album, A Beautiful Day has a tight little beat, bassline that hums through the track and some really nice singing. I'm not usually a fan of lyrics or samples but both here are very well done. It's hard not to smile at this one DDD (Dirty Disco Dub) borders on damn right cheesy. The lyrics Honey Honey Honey Hooooney Honey! & come on y'all, lets go we're going down to the disco are almost unbearable in their cheesiness and it seems an odd inclusion to an otherwise good album. Much more musical is The Truth Is... which has well placed samples laid subtly, melody & capable female singing. The melody comes from all different sources, guitar, piano what sounds like a harpsichord while the bassline gives it all a nice danceable quality. Phantom of the Ukraine is just a sample without a song. I guess they really liked it but couldn't fit it into any tracks Mother Nature is a Ragga track & as that it's quite good. Imagine that hot chick shaking her ass at super human speed as you stand behind it mesmerised. The melody played in it is actually really good. Majestic at times and better than the track around it. Back to dub with Lost & Found and it's a nice track reminding me of dub clubs in London on a sunday night in summer. The girls swarming around, everyone talking & laughing with each other. The singing in the last couple of minutes is really good & gives this a special atmosphere of detachment from the world. The Forest of Lyonesse is a short interlude again. A thin flute melody makes it sound very much like in a forest in some 1970's martial arts movie. There is more eastern sounding flute in Katskills. The bassline is a fat one the vocals come flying at you & the beats are like relaxed D&B. A pretty cool track but very shallow. No depth, no layers. High Noon digs a little deeper with a lot of psychedelic sounds flying about & a subdued bassline buzzing in the back of my mind. The piano melody is soft & dreamy and the vocals flutter nicely adding extra trippiness to the track. The track evolves very nicely with good progression keeping it interesting on repeat listens Another interlude, Sleeping Tiger & The Gods Unknown is more musical than earlier interludes. A soft ambient track with a beautiful warm feeling to it. Why oh why only make this 1 minute long? The sort of stuff I'd love to hear a full album of. Codes seems to follow on for a while with a nice ambient intro. Then soft beats & a softer bassline come in creating a nice magical feel. I imagine a warm summer evening just on the edge of a forest, watching the sun sink behind the trees. Such is the feeling of the music that I'm actually feeling warmer just listening to it. Really great stuff. A very psychedelic piece of ambient dub just right for chillin' in the evenin' Orbisonia is ambient in the old orb style. Sample heavy making it sound random in a well organised way. Bizarre & cool stuff as always. Let The Music Set You Free is a bonus track only for the Japanese release so if you want it you'll have to get the import. Seeing as the release date elsewhere seems to be nowhere in sight that might be a good idea. It's a good track as well. So damn British. It puts me in mind the early 90's. The beats, bass & repetitive lyrics all give me a nostalgic feeling. Very cool indeed with nice melody under the bass and punchy, crunchy synths There is some good stuff here. As a dub album it's really good & the best I've heard from the orb in a while. There are hints in a few tracks that they could make a new fantastic ambient album which would please me no end. The dub/reggae tracks are cool. The singing is good & the samples as always are well placed. Only does DDD (Dirty Disco Dub) let the show down & it does in a very big way. Way too cheesy and needs to be skipped when I listen to it. Other than that though this is one of the tastiest dub albums I've heard over the last few years & the ambient tracks towards the end are superb.

Shulman Endless Rhythms Of The Beatless Heart Aleph Zero 2007 Tracklist 1 Retroscape (11:32) 2 Transmissions In Bloom (12:50) 3 Odd Reflections (10:17) 4 One Step Closer (8:49) 5 After Silence (6:46) 6 Invention (11:13) 7 Mia Nihta Mono Den Ftani (10:07) 8 Eternal Bliss Of The Grateful Souls (4:59) The build up to this album passed my by almost unnoticed. I was never going to have high hopes as in my opinion Shulman's albums have decreased in quality. The first being the best followed by the second & the half hearted random thoughts coming in a sorry last place. I feared this would just be another step down. So when I finally bought it & stuck it in I wasn't expecting much. On the first listen I really had mixed feelings about it, I thought there was some good stuff in there but that they really overused the Shahnai Zorna & Ney instruments I have in my travels come to despise as almost everywhere I've been they are played tunelessly & annoyingly. That put me off at first but I'm glad I stuck with the album as after overcoming my prejudices about that instrument, I noticed that Shulman & the musicians they have gathered for this are not your talentless back street player but people who can really play. I found myself loving the melodies played on instruments I can't stand. This has had some heavy play time since I first got it & I'd go as far as to say it's my favourite Shulman album yet. 1. Retroscape We start off with an 11 and a half minute track but Shulman's progression & ideas are definitely good enough to make long tracks like this. The vocals are at once sad & hopeful like optimism in the face of adversity. It takes a while for the melodies to come in but the one on the roads is particularly nice. A glitchy mid section gives way to more energetic melodies & some nice soft but quick beats. I'm put in mind of Deep Forest a little when listening to this especially the melodies in the final thought & the twisted vocals. 2. Transmissions in Bloom This track is almost 13 minutes long & it doesn't start too well I'm afraid. The melody is damn annoying in tone at the beginning but somehow it snakes around my brain & once this passes the 3 minute mark I've started liking it. Some really odd sci fi noises run through the background giving quite a contrasting feel. The breakdown on 4:30 is jaw dropping in it's beautiful ambience. The melody creeps back in & out again but the emergence of the beats in the 8th minute is staggeringly good. Slow heavy yet subdued beats. The track from this moment on builds up slowly adding more layers, melody after melody intertwining and a huge long synth line in the background, all in all it has blindingly moments. As it built up it also strips itself down in the end removing layers until it's completely gone. A few noodley moments where it seems they have gone to far trying to show off but all in all a very good track. 3. Odd Reflections Soft glitch at the start, kind of wet sounds zipping about. A nice soft bass comes which is beautiful & the violin is interesting if not quite as nicely played as I'd like. I really prefer my classical violin than ethnic violin. Not as many melodies in this track & it sounds kind of thin throughout most of this track relying on glitchy beats and a lot of random sounds. There are some good moments in this track towards the end, some twisted sounding melody & violin going a little nuts but all in all it's just too glitchy for it's own good & too shallow. 4. One Step Closer This one instantly sounds much deeper with a deep resonating bass drone & cool IDMish beats. A saxophone, another instrument I can't stand, is played in away I would usually cringe at but in the context of this track it seems to fit & conjures images in my head of seedy back alley bars at 3 in the morning being seduced by some sultry woman in her late 30's in a tight red low cut dress & black stockings smoking a long thins cigarette in a way that just screams take me. Quite a nice track 5. After Silence A very glitchy ambient track. Not much rhythm or melody or structure just long drawn out soundscapes. Standing alone or on a different album with similar music this would be a very nice track but here it feels like an unnecessary interlude. The best thing about it are the vocals. Subtle & merged with strings so it's hard to tell when they start & end. The beats creep in & I feel like it's just getting into something but then it stops. 6. Invention Now we are entering the business end of the album. This is the reason you need to buy this album. This track is worth the cash alone. It's deep, beautiful & very emotional. The melodies come from everywhere & twist around each other perfectly. The melodies are sweet & melancholic at the same time. At once jazzy & ethnic, serious & fun. This without a shadow of a doubt is the best track that Shulman have ever released, definitely up there in my favourites of the year & it has made me very glad I bought this album. The progression of the track is nice with an ambient mid section that is very dreamy after which it rebuilds & brings the melodies back in, slightly different layers this time. Enough heart stopping moments to cover an entire album. Only 11 minutes long though, I wish it was longer, 30 minutes might have been a good length for this masterpiece of audio engineering 7. Mia Nihta Mono Den Ftani Following on in almost as good style, we have here once again nice melodies, deep atmosphere & emotion crammed into the music until it's bursting out. The melody on the Zorna I initially found to be very annoying as I outlined above this instrument never used to instill much in me but it's so well arranged in here & the deep melody that follows is another jaw dropping one. The same adjectives as I described for Invention can be used on this track. It doesn't quite reach the dizzy heights as Invention but it comes damn close. A slight reggae feel to it as well is pretty interesting but at the end of the day it's all about those melodies. Very nice stuff indeed. 8. Eternal Bliss of the Grateful Souls Finishing on an ambient number and what a nice ambient piece it is too. Soft & dreamy sounds build an atmosphere of warm summer nights looking up at the stars. Accentuated by the starlight melody & the long strings which end the album on such a beautiful tone that I want to listen to it over again. Blissful indeed & it makes me grateful to Shulman for this album. Just a shame that it's so short, only 5 minutes which seem to pass much quicker, this could have been much longer & still very interesting. As I said, this is Shulman's best album to date & I would urge anyone that likes either Shulman's sound or is a fan of well made world music should get their hands on this. The last 3 tracks are just amazing. One thing I'm not so keen on though is that there are moments when it feels like Shulman are showing off & they just try a bit too much to add character to their work. When they simply layer the sounds, the melodies & the beats & ambience it sounds so good. The glitch is often decent enough but they overdo it a few times & it sounds a bit like it's trying to climb up it's own arse. Just sometimes though. The high points are dizzying and this is a so far unique album in my collection, guaranteeing a lot of play time over here

I remember when I first got that it took me quite some time to listen to Some great tracks on there once you find them! Wish I had that here

Same again

The year is up, the music has been released & I've tried to listen to as much of it as I possibly could. 2007 has been a great year for music & my favourite track list was far too long and had to be cut down to make a mix under 3 hours & 30 minutes. I took my favourite tracks & put them into a mix, the mix to everyone else might come off as being very random but because I love every single track I love it. Despite the shitty mixing in the first hour the tracks are all superb & that more than makes up for it. The mixing improves in the more chilled middle & the ambient end.

Cymphonic - Unfoldment 28. Mathias Grassow & Thomas Weiss - Language of Silence 29. Cymphonic - River Styx Reviews of each track 1. Fizzy - Hymn in Honor of Symphonics I'll forgive the lazy spelling of Honour in the title & say that this is much more like it! Yes there is a baseline again but this time it fits in much better with the rest of the track, I don't feel like I've heard it a million times before & it makes me want to move & most of all it's not the main focal point of the entire fucking track. It's great to see someone nowadays who is able to make a 12+ minute trance track & have the skills to keep it interesting throughout. A slight breakdown followed by a sample "Hisashiburi dane" It's been a long time. Then it kicks in proper with such an angelic melody, random though it is a first it gains cohesiveness as it goes along and manages to melt my brain each time I hear it! After the melody comes driving synth lines that just poke red hot acid into my already melted brain! When an artist you've never heard of with such a silly name makes a piece of music good enough to put a smile on your face and give you optimism for the future of the scene it has to be a good thing. I just hope he becomes more well known within our small scene! 2. Scorb - Tower of Klorox No review yet, just wait a while please 3. Sienis - Watt Duh Hekk?! The bom bom bom seems to have a resonance echo & the sounds shift from left to right in an off putting random way that makes you think your headphones are broken until the sounds fly around so much that they fill both sides. An incredibly infectious bassline which has made me look stupid at the train station trying to hold my desire to dance while waiting for the train. It's a small world after world is butchered by some weirdo freak in the breakdown before kicking back in with a completely different track. What the Hell happened? The Bizarreness is compounded by the return of the oscillating sounds from the right to the left randomly. Oh well 16% of the time it works everytime 4. Solar Fields - Cruise A sublime ambient drone with a touch of melody in the background makes me feel everytime like this is going to be an ambient outro but as the beats trip in, that feeling drips away & is finally broken when the heavy bass stabs in & the beat, which now seems to have the foot eased off the pedal kicks in. The sound is back to the best heard on the album with the old school trance influences again. The synth build ups & the rave like break down putting me in the mood for some huge outdoor party 12 years ago but the melody rooting me right into 2007. Imagine a melodious rave track minus the cheesy cartoon sample plus modern production & you have this cruise. Bloody brilliant it is, the build ups are actually tense while being relaxing. Like waiting for something you really want while experiencing the next best thing. Sitting on a bean back waiting for someone to pass you the joint type stuff. This manages to sneak in the energy. You wait for a drop & suddenly it has just gone nuts without you realising it. 5. Tea Chairs - Chillingham Cheese This has a great melody that just oozes the seratonin out of my glands & into my head. The spacey sci fi B-movie sounds add a tripped out weirdness of it. The melody in the final run is so mind blowing, sound like something played on an old Atari but the tune is really beautiful. Very nostalgic and the the weirdness level is kept up with the twisted moans calling through the edge of reality trying to drag you deep down into their dimension. Trippy! 6. Weird Alchemy - Tzump-In (Chairs Rmx) I have never heard the original so I can not compare the two. This one though is a dark fucked up track. Well structured & driving with an edge of Necromantic psychedelia. A very strong track all round with the melody trying to counter the darker more twisted sounds & the hints of strings at some parts. 7. Prosect - Dr. Ivan & The Mad Peyote With a track title so unbelievably shit you know that the music is either going to be undeniably shit or so fucked up & crazy that you just can't get enough.....so....which way is it? Well, the answer is thankfully the latter. This is some crazy psychedelic, technological madness. Trippy, acidic, strange, fun, weird, better make sure that nobody's watching you dance to this crazy stuff are all worthy adjectives. I've not heard this on the dancefloor but I'm sure it would be a challenge. It stops & starts without any constant rhythm but it keeps going. I don't see any psy lovers leaving the dancefloor when this comes on but I don see a lot of confused bodies at least from those not entirely wasted! Crazy craziness with a degree in crazology from the university of south madsley in craze london! 8. Eat Static - Brassneck The sample seems to describe Eat Static well, if you listen to the static then it fucks you up. Truer words have never been sampled. Another high octane track full of trippy alien weirdness with melodies that really take my brain to other dimensions. Dimensions of pure light, dimensions of energy & sound & back again. 9. Tea Chairs - Turrikaner This has a melody from an old computer game I had on the Amiga. Turrican I think the game was & I remember many a day playing that & hearing that melody. A gutsy move indeed as anything so old in a 2007 track has the danger of just sounding shit but it works here. Very cool, makes me want to play video games. Especially this one 10. Solar Fields - Brainbow The intro has little short stabs of acid bombarding the now crippled defenses of my cynicism. I have to admit that now I am in love with this music & want to have it's babies. As the beat kicks in I feel a small drop in my appreciation but when that melody comes in I just want to fall to the floor in joy. It's difficult to describe just how this melody sounds but it feels like it is covering me. All around me is a beautiful fog of music representing this music. It hums & chimes & rings & echoes through the smoke rings of my inner being & far out into the ether of the universe. When it leaves I feel the darkness with the light acid sounds lighting up the black sky. The melody creeps back in however with the re:emergence of the beat I had not noticed for the last few minutes. The times with the melody are almost orgasmic & those times when it's not there leave you waiting for it, wanting it, desiring it to enter your mind again & bring you the light & the colour that has been missing from your life. Am I getting across just how good this melody is? It is a pretty simple melody but damn it's infectious & if it was a woman I think I would already have proposed. The bassline in the final part of the track is a nice driving one & fits round the melody while the spacey goodness of all the other sounds just blow my mind deep into the wondrous hyperspace of music created by Solar Fields. Mind Blowing!! 11. Sienis - Form Another Perspective Best track on the whole album. It all comes together. The grim fairy tale feel, the nuttiness, the ambience in the background & yes yes yes the bassline is so amazingly fantastic that when it comes in I can do anything else, I can't talk I can't walk straight I can't see. All I can do is smile & dance. Every part of me wants to move. Even when I'm sat down I can feel myself dancing! I think this is probably my favourite track of 2007. It's so infectious. I just want to listen to it again & again & again. I could probably have this on repeat at a party & be happy for hours I only wish it was longer. 12. Tea Chairs - Cruise Wide Open. Light sounds & an old school rave melody. This really sounds like it belongs in the early 1990's but with the ever present Tea Chairs weirdness giving it that extra something to distinguish itself from the that time, oh & the modern production. 13. Solar Fields - Kick Back Straight in with the beat & straight in with little melodic runs which sound, I have to say, magical. Some of the best melody I've heard in ages & the fact that each time it comes in it's so short & then goes, it feels like I'm being teased. I sit here waiting for it to come in next. I'm so busy waiting that I miss, the synths starting but when I finally hear them & the bassline I am once again in awe. This is really how psy at this pace should sound. Beautifully spacey with a lot of space for the sounds to breath. The steady 4-4 is not oppressive which is such a relief as I was worried that a too heavy kick would be the downfall of this album but Magnus in my eyes is a genius when it comes to music & he's produced a bloody brilliant track here. When the melody morphs into a what reminds me of an old school trance (not psy) classic but yet not, I feel a sense of nostalgia while being so happy with the state of modern music. The atmosphere created in the final run sees this track move so incredibly deep I almost weep with joy. This, without a doubt must be one of the best tracks released this year, in any genre. 14. Younger Brother - Happy Pills A nice chilled out melodic piece dripping with lovely psychedelic nuances. The beats are big but relaxed. Lots of space to move. The more intricate sub beats are nicer & an Indian melody gives way to a really nice 60's lounge melody. The whole track has the feel of a 60's smokers lounge just not crap. 15. Shulman - Invention This is Shulman's greatest achievement to date. The interwoven melodies that come at you from every direction are as beautiful as they are warm. Each one makes my heart leap up & fills me with a warm fuzzy feeling. Quite an achievement for a piece of music I'll think you'll agree. Quite a long track at over 11 minutes in length but this could easily have been 2 or 3 times as long and not been boring. Pure brilliance. Beautiful, emotive music. 16. Solar Fields - Air Song (Androcell Remix) I wanted to see what Androcell could do with one of the greatest pieces of music ever made. It is basically everything a remix should be. It sounds very different from the original while still keeping some of the core aspects (in this case the slight melody) to make it recognisable. The beats are bigger, there is more energy & there is a vocal in it. A good remix, incomparable to the original because they are so different. Well done Androcell! 17. The Orb - A Beautiful Day Review pending 18. Younger Brother - Psychic Gibbon After the greatness of the first track on The Last Days of Gravity then the disappointment that followed I wasn't expecting this. This is exactly what I would have liked the whole album to be. Interesting & psychedelic without relying on crap samples from past movies. Instead it relies on melodies & structure. It builds it's way up to the vocal which (is not a sample) fits in naturally to the track. Very good stuff, the sort of track I replay after it's finished. 19. Asura - La Chanson De Carla Love this track! A Beautiful melody & gorgeous vocal. It seems lovely & lonely. It reminds me of nostalgia for an old girlfriends I mistakenly left behind on my journey in life & is now lost to me forever. At the same time it keeps up the celestial atmosphere of the rest of the album Life2 & is a great and to a great album. 20. Subgardens - Asleep Clockmaker Well, I had some really high hopes for this track after the brilliance of listen to the flowers grow & Subgardens manages to keep their hundred percent record with this track. Weird slick beats & rushes in the background make room for a lovely cold melody that falls all around me. It feels like standing in the middle of my field with snow all over the ground and a gentle snowfall coming down. I like the beats that Subgardens keep coming out with. Something different from you usual beats. More glitchy with echo, reverb or something damn good done to them. Would love to hear more from these guys. 21. (Val)Liam - Perfectly Rational I'm really looking forward to hearing more from this guy judging from the strength of his 2 tracks on Intermittent Memories. This one has a nice relaxed natural feel. The use of piano seems to Earth this track giving it a much more terrestrial feel. Like awaking from a dream about alien worlds to a warm Earth autumn morning. 22. Zero Cult - Part Of Rapture The intro to this track contains a sample done just the way I like it. Distorted enough so I can't make out more than the initial work. For me this always makes it trippier, deeper with more mystery. A little acidic melody just precedes a clear slow beat. The background ambience really makes the melody stand out in a futuristic spacey way. I imagine impossibly tall buildings side my side for miles & miles when I listen to this. The melody that comes in at the end is what escalates this track from good to excellent. With the same atmosphere it creates a more melancholic feel. Really beautiful. 23. Asura - Golgotha A soft dreamy opening with a lush drone & a drawn out ethnic melody leads into a heavy tribal beat. The melody continues & evolves then around the 3 and a half minute mark a long synth gives this track a vast feel. I feel like this track belongs in the sound track to some epic. I feel as if I'm stood on a hill watching an army charge towards me but safe in the knowledge that I can't be hurt. The melody changes from flute to voice almost noticeably. 24. Amos - Fläktsystem This track is stunningly beautiful. The melody is one of melancholic ecstasy & the beat vibrates as it rolls through the track. If you are a fan of melancholic chill then you will more than like likely fall in love with this track. Makes me feel like I'm in the part of a movie where everything in my life has fallen apart & all I can do is wander slowly around the city & see all the people going about there business totally unaware of my inner pain. Beautiful stuff. 25. Sync24 - White Pixels Whatever choice we made this track makes us feel like it was the right decision. It takes us & wraps us in it's warm embrace. The most melodious so far & is quite beautiful in a melancholic kind of way. A female voice gives us the message The shadow of Earth can't block the radiation. White pixels shimmering as dying stars. Like thin Smoke trailing through the memory of someone still alive. Even now, white does not equal death. before a steady beat comes & takes us on another stage of the journey. Leaving behind the stark countryside into something more vibrant & alive. 26. Spielerei & Mantacoup - After The Shockwave Something is trying to grow in the wasteland. Something from nothing but still the nuclear wind tries to destroy everything that might be. Can anything prevail after the nuclear winter has descended? Still, something wants to grow but it's not organic. Industrial growth is all that prevails & it needs no organic help. The nuclear winds have stripped the earth of it's weak organisms & left it with only machines that have a strong desire to survive. They picked up on our final wishes, our desire to continue our life no matter the cost. But with no human life left it's up to our technology to survive, rebuild, evolve & fight each other. A cold dead world alive with nothing but the shadow of mankind. This is all that is left after mankind's need to protect itself. 27. Cymphonic - Unfoldment From nothingness unfolds beauty. The track starts with minimal ambient drones. Adds extra sounds & static from nowhere as it evolves & eventually produces a melody that is worthy of a spring flower. Simple & soft but beautiful. Easily missed but worth catching. A track I wish was longer so I could enjoy the beauty more. 28. Mathias Grassow & Thomas Weiss - Language of Silence Sounds buzz & twinkle in this track, under the drone seems to be life in the outer reaches of nothingness. In the vastness of space between planets there is not much but in this track there seems to be at least single cell life. Something that the light bounces off of. A very nice floaty track, feels like I'm orbiting a huge star at a distance of over 100Au. So just in the distance can I see one light just brighter than the rest, but not obvious. Very cool Spacey ambient. 29. Cymphonic - River Styx This really does manage to sound like a river on fire separating me from the lost souls damned to all eternity. The water seems to drip upwards like flames & from beyond these flames the cold wishes from the long deceased cry out in joyous anguish. As we float along though they fade more into the background and the longer this goes the closer to the bank we get until I feel like I'm just sitting on the shores of hell, listening to the sea of souls lap against my ankles.
