DESCRIPTION
==================
Dark brooding sonic touches give the opening to the title track a rather cosmic feel. We are soon shaken to our senses though as the first rapid rumbling bass sequence spews forward. The introduction of some tron places us very firmly in Berlin School territory. A second sequence, this time a high register one, makes an entrance and fairly bounces along between the pulsations of the first- wonderful stuff! Vast pads swell lifting us up as if we are soaring high above awesome mountain ranges. The main sequence suddenly darts off in another direction in the fifth minute and instantly the backing also changes. Yet another sequence comes in, melodic pads creating something of a euphoric feel. This ecstasy is heightened still further as a laser sharp lead flashes over it all. Things never stay still as every element morphs this way and that until in the ninth minute we transcend once more to the darkest areas of Space. Out of this emerges some moody flutey synth.
Gert can't keep his hands off that sequencer for too long though as gradually a new pattern of notes starts to float through the air, caressing the soul rather than whipping up a frenzy. Dark drones and computer type twitters get 'Gaspra' underway. A very deep sequence rumbles forth gaining added oomph all the time; contrasting soft pads impart a little gentleness. The calm mood is brought even more to the surface in the fourth minute as a laid back rhythm is stirred into the mixture. It's back to the cosmos again for 'Alien Matter'. At first we gently float along then the engines are engaged and we hurtle forward on a waves of pulsations. A dreamy melody shimmers over the top, only to disappear, along with the sequence, for a short interlude of gentle drift before the sequence comes back with even greater vigour. Mellotron is again deployed and rather awesome it is too! Rhythm is added along with twittering effects and a new stabbing lead line. We have shifted up yet another gear. Whoosh, wiz, twitter twitter and 'Elektra World' gets underway. Some lovely ethereal / symphonic type pads take things forward and an inevitable sequence (I'm not complaining- honest!) tinkles along low in the mix.
A little more oomph is imparted as a slow drum line comes in then the best melody on the album so far takes the mind on a journey all of its own. It's then all change in the sixth minute as a faster sequence scatters all that has gone before it. All the backing elements fit the mood perfectly, having the same sort of 'feel' as TD's 'Stratosfear'. We finish the album with a track demonstrating the 'lighter' side to Berlin School. 'The Voyage of Voyager 1' begins with a wonderful collage of 'well out there' sounds and effects. A lonesome lead line sort of hangs in the air above it all creating a feeling of peace and well-being. The sequence, which arrives in the third minute, is also quite melodic, even joyful, combining with the rhythm perfectly. The feel good factor gets even more so with the introduction of another positive melody. This mood continues right until the end as different elements come and go. (DL)
