Review by BrufordFreak
COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

The second of Stefano Musso's three 2023 releases.

1. "Suspended pathways" (19:15) innocuous background music; cinematic enough for a documentary of unoccupied barren landscapes. The soundscape thickens a bit in the 14th minute, but that's about as exciting as it gets. (33/40)

2. "Ascending ladder" (7:32) one of the most engaging, heart-wrenching songs I've heard from Stefano in a long time. (15/15)

3. "Incantatory landscapes" (18:34) dull and boring in a kind of "haven't we heard this one about a 100 times before, Stefano?" while lacking any engaging melody or riff. (32/40)

4. "Contemplative fly" (12:44) a little brighter and more-than-one-dimensional that the two long ones. (22/25)

5. "Enchanted signs" (11:50) a sound palette more similar to the creepy/titillating musics on Stefano's 2015 collaboration with Lorenzo Montan�--my favorite progressive electronic album of all-time, Hologrphaic Codex. Could happily grace a soundtrack for one of my Hallowe'en or Devil's Night shows. A great mesmeric. (23/25)

Total Time 69:55

B-/3.5 stars; despite three great mesmerics, the lows of this one drag it down, otherwise this would be an Alio Die album that I'd highly recommend.
