 Pure heaven December 29, 2011
Written by Maximus
It occurs to me that big number of soundscapes available are essential - and this one is no exception! Listening to the first set is like flying in the sky accompanied by beautiful , colorful clouds. Layers of sound-clouds coming and going, washing over my spirit in this wonderful place where time stands still, with emotions changing as the weather does, though connected to the unchangeable sky-space at the same time. I would rather call the first part delicate and ruminative.
The second set is different, beginning with dark, ambiguous, ironic and angry Queer Jazz. But my absolutely favorite one here is At The End Of Time. It is hard to find words to describe this one which is very intense, beginning with a blissful and sad loop (At The Same Time), and continuing with a very yearning soloing which always brings tears to my eyes. It is like coping with loss, deep pain, and letting go of it... and then all suffering dissolves in an additional sonic layers added, overwhelming the listener in total bliss. Heh, I wonder why this piece was not mentioned in the review, which is usually the case with such killers, but maybe it is just me... anyway, this one(gig) has proven to be very helpful and life-enhancing for me, and I wish the same to all the other ones who are going to buy it!
