Some of this album has an early 90s new age/electronic feel to it and reminds me of Tangerine Dream and, to a lesser extent, early Recoil production. The rest is impressively diverse and I love some of the atmospheric synthesizers.

08/09/09

I confess that I was initially attracted by the ankh and the promise of things "Egyptological". And as it turns out I wasn't disappointed. I think that I like this best of all the works of Solaris precisely because it is the most congruent in terms of "theme" orientation, and stylistic manipulation musically.

As I have mentioned elsewhere in reviews, many "albums" on this site are really composites of works, often differing significantly in idiom and style; and for myself, I prefer to stay in one "groove" when choosing an album for serious listening.

(Sampler albums of course are very useful in acquainting the listener with the variety of styles offered by the artist in question.)

Anyway, this release offers creative manipulation of the materials selected by the composer in a cogent manner, not an arbitrary one as is sometimes encountered.
