THROUGH THE RINGS

Coming from UK, Michael Shipway and Steve Smith conform VOLT, this 2005 "Through The Rings", as far as this prog-archive goes is their 3th release.

Dreamy and intelligent as in Tangerine Dream's 70s era, mild as in "close to corny" Tangerine Dream's 80s one and beyond being perfectly studio recorded and offering a clean cut performance too close to commercial "new age" music and well the T.D.'s 2000s cover art like, does not help much either.

And to force things a bit, it also offers some kind of "tribute" to Michael Cretu's 80s self styled, ENIGMA project, which the 80s/90/s TDs also did (shamelessly).

Impersonal and unoriginal at close range, for those who still crave for versions of the same old prog-electronic scene again and again.

Nicely performed, some very attractive ambiences here and there, some catchy moments to remember but too "new agy, twinkly crystalline and TD like " for my taste.

***3 PA stars tops.
