More Info

Very nice work again from Italian's OPIUM, quite dense & almost "cosmic" ambient, but with enough variation and a slight experimental edge, using concrete sounds that are perfectly arranged in the mix, but also slow & more "ethnic " percussion & pulses... somewhere between STEVE ROACH, OÖPHOI, ALIO DIE and darker stuff like HERBST9...

"Classically elegant and extremely refined ambient music. Multi-dimensional sounds that are warm and enveloping. An emotional travelogue, starting dramatically, then taking the listener down a slower path, comfortably easing you into a long and fascinating sonic trip, where the sounds grow wide and large, and finally crumble inward, then regenerate, returning for another phase. A new sonic alchemy, and an entirely new world of soothing sounds for the adventurous listener to visit." [label info]
