DESCRIPTION
==================
CD 2 proposes us structures which are far enough from what we are used to hear from Peter Mergener. And that begins with an all ambiospherical piece of music decorated by its lot of sound effects as well as synth layers and guitar laments which remind of the universe of Pink Floyd in Wish You Were Here. The voice of Stephen Hawking is dawdling around in the background and remains less attractive than that of a virtual woman. If we like the hollow atmospheres where we feel at light years from home, "Strange Voices" and "Extreme Conditions" with its huge waves of old church organ will know how to fill your expectations. We stay in the very Pink Floyd domain with "Solarsailer" which is a good electronic progressive rock with lively percussions, loops of guitar and nice orchestrations. It's rather different of the Mergener/Software universe but we roll on the neck and we slightly tap the thigh. And the guitar of Achim Elsen, who is very good by the way, does very David Gilmour. We are more into ballad style? The slow and very poignant "Sunlight" and its heavy resounding guitar, one would say a hard rock ballad, is going to eat your soul. "When the Wind Blows" is also a beautiful ballad but in a more New Age style. "Nightflight" is a more electronic track, well at least for its intro, with a circular movement of very crystalline sequences which clink in a spectral shroud. Impetus of a line of bass and wrapping synth layers, perfumed by the shadows of an old organ, give a night-depth to a music, which does very Mark Shreeve by the way, which takes back the guides of another electronic rock filled of pastiches and of sound glitter of the 80's. "A Little Bit of Something" will keep its electronic identity throughout its 8 minutes, it's quite a piece of EM my friends, with an approach which is a little similar to "On Wings" but with a clearly more lively rhythm where the perfumes of Mergener/Software exhilarate our senses with a touch very TD from the Underwater Sunlight years.
