You remember the sound of airplanes in the sky on a midsummer’s day?
Right at the moment that you are drinking a cold beverage in the sun on the soft green grass with a friend, these iron birds with their zooming engines will fly by to gather your attention.
They have been there since we have born and are so used to see and hear them high up the sky,
that we are normally hardly aware of these things poisoning our clean airspace.
Next to soft breezes, birds and waving tree’s there is also the sound of passing airplanes that I would include in the sound description of a summers day. That’s how bad and how used we got to these sounds hovering above our head, camouflaging the blue sky with their white trails of poison.
It isn’t that bad as I believe in a weird way the sound is actually pretty nice.
Probably not when you are standing next to a flying airplane’s engine, but hey who can do that anyway?

Why this chat about airplanes when the review info clearly says that this should be about  a nice floppy disk release? Well the thing with the musical content on this release is that to my ears it has somehow captured this ‘special’ summer sound and got rid of all the birds, breezes and waving tree’s. It seems to have filtered the essence of these flying objects from a chilling out kind of distance. These sounds are highly re-edited and placed in a galore of relaxing content. You even might call it ambient! Although the label itself supplies the terms ‘Space’ ‘Drone’ ‘Noise’ for your reference.

These tones are waving through each other creating warm and full harmonies that softly hoover around your living room. It goes along in a mesmerizing tempo which gives the listener a stretched out feeling of indeed spacy-ness. This music wouldn’t be out of place somewhere in an X files episode, with its intriguing harmonies and dark undertones.

This music comes in a spacious package, including some kind of star field and an interesting description with cryptic formula’s how these sounds are really generated.  Of course this got nothing to do with airplane engines in the sun and the ambientification of it all, but I guess the technical side is more for the die-hard space fan. That this is the result of an experiment is an ‘extra’, concerning that it is actually nice music to chill and space out too.
