ALMAGEST

I'll have to include myself to the group of people admiring deeply the music of album, though I think there was slightly distasteful marketing related to it, and I believe it is a studio project of a one musician in spite of listed band personnel. I don't see the records as very revolutionary in its style as its musical elements are familiar from the other cosmic releases. But the records simple calmness and pureness of feeling made a really big impression on me. The celestial cosmic harmony and ocean of calmness could be described as a imitating the sound of pre-"Ricochet" Tangerine Dream with more softer and modern sounds. The slow discussions of flute and keyboards holds the modern version of the same sound texture found from Yatha Sidhra's "Meditation Mass", which certainly is still yet more singular diamond than this "2nd century astronomical bundle of Ptolemy." If senses are open, these long explorations of subtle themes can make the listener feel like a cosmic voyager, slowly drifting through space-time, and admire its celestial objects. You can also hear on some moments Carl Sagan telling about how he sees the third stone from the sun.
