daybrain Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hesius Dome - The Age of Steam Joe Creighton, Simon Polinski Psy-Harmonics 2CD Mixed Style: Experimental, Ambient This is an impressive ambient album. It's not made of simple harmonic strings and relaxing beats. The Age of Steam is a vital evolving and real world. It's always waiting for the next exploration. You won't think about samples or synths while listening. You'll think about an unknown age with its workpeople and fast expanding industrial landscapes. The coldness of the winter. The heat of the factories. The work and amusement of the people. Feel the decaying religious myths of the Age of Steam. An Age full of expectations. "The Fountain of Hesius can be found on the planet Gor, where John Norman's classic sci-fi series of books was set. This planet is a hidden counter earth on the other side of the sun, a primitive world in many respects but possessing certain technologies even more advanced than Earth. The Fountain of Hesius produces sound that emulates a complex web of emotions in accordance with the nature that surrounds it. Beautifully structured and thoughtfully played 'The Age of Steam' features guest cameos from some of australians finest musicians and recording artists, such as David Bridie, Kerry Simpson, Joe Creighton, Shane Andalou, Ollie Olsen & Gareth Skinner." http://www.psy-harmonics.com.au/wipv3_6/pa...1566&db=Entries In my opinion Age of Steam (cd1) is much superior to Farewell Waltz.
