I feel as though I should apologize for enjoying this kind of music - it's not the type that's been fashionable for quite some time now. But indeed, this is music I enjoy if the songs stand out enough, and they do on this release. I dare say I will be keeping an eye out for this artist's next release. The root for this kind of music comes from the mid to late 90s psy (goa, progressive) trance with a slower beat and a chillier vibe. There was a lot of music put out that sounded in this vein from 1995-2004 or so, then, other artists took the sound but couldn't make memorable songs, or even songs with a real impact, with a few notable exceptions like Asura. Most of the artists practicing in this style have been featured on Altar Records at some point in time. In essence, this sounds like sort of a lesser Asura from the "Lost Eden" era. I thought this album was surprisingly good as earlier some of the offerings from Altar Records like Astral Waves were sometimes not the best. Take a listen to Track 4, "Psychedelic Dream." I mean, that's a good track! I even like "Low Red Moon" which sounds like all those old last tracks on Liquid Sound Design albums (the whole album would be psy/goa and the last track would be chill/downtempo psy, goa). This album does not break any boundaries of originality whatsoever. It is not fantastic. It is good though, and it's just giving fans of this kind of music quality output to enjoy. Listen to the melody break in halfway through "Sun Trap." Nice. There are some filler-y tracks (Like track 7) but all in all this is one to consider if you are a fan of the genre. I consider this a B+ type of release, the plus coming from my opinion that the artist has managed to take a sound that lends itself to some very generic sounding music but manages to make some keepers.

True, it's a fantastic album reminding me excellence of Patchwork's (spirit zone) mood...
