| “ | This piece of art is not about melody and has no form. The amorphous curves created of nothing evolve into fanciful objects are employed into various scenes. The grand spectacle is opened in ones sight spiced with scraps of reality. Any human involvement is hidden under the impression of sound shaped by nobody, rather something beyond the grasp of the mind. It sheds from the fracture of unrevealed shapes to play with your consciousness and rush away into abyss. | ” |
| “ | This 66 minute CD has 16 tracks of highly interesting electronic music. The material does not have the wall of sound density like that of Kistenmacher but is closer in sound to that of Exchange. Several songs are light in texture and sparse in complexity. This gives them a pop-jingle sound that can fool the listener, but several playings will show the composers working for an overall diversity. Several tracks are notable - "Icefields", "Banana", and "Polarlight" by J. Mohn; "Lhasa" by K. and M. Buntrock. This first release album shows a lot of promise for the musicians. A nice change from the work of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. | ” |
| “ | An attempt to transfer through emotional form, through the music some keys to understanding of our world. Everybody has its own vision, but the reality is the same, and the difference is only in the prism of our perception. A tale is dedicated to sequential stages of consciousness development: from wanderings of the mind and ties of social patterns to the first rays of enlightenment and awareness of the world order in complex experiences on the way of cognition leading to the meeting with yourself. | ” |
| “ | Association α-Centauri started in November 1992 with the aim to promote and develop Electronic Music in a pro-active way. One of the ways α-Centauri realizes this is by means of stimulating and helping amateur musicians to develop themselves and to give them opportunity to present themselves to audience. With this goal in mind α-Centauri organizes all sorts of events, like a mini-concerts and Electronic Music Festivals and nowadays has around 100 contributors. In 1996 they gave their contributors the opportunity to subscribe to an Electronic Music Competition, of which the best compositions are released on this very first α-Centauri CD. | ” |
| “ | "Short Stories" is the debut album by Jon and Vangelis, the collaborative effort between Jon Anderson of the prog rock band Yes and electronic music pioneer Evangelos Papathanassiou. | ” |
| “ | The music to this project was inspired by Dali's "Salon of the Masterworks" exhibit at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Dalinian philosophy calls for sudden materialization of suggested image... phantoms endowed with the realism of tangible objects. Who else but Dali would paint a still life... moving fast? An angel's ear? Or a Hallucinogenic Toreador? Scott Duncan's music somehow rings eerily true to the themes behind the inspiration. As if he had gone inside. This captivating music Scott has written definitely brings an entirely new dimension to New Age. | ” |
| “ | Composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mario Konrad was born June 14, 1973 in Gütersloh, Germany. Grown up and still living in Germany. After experimenting with the first synthesizer in 1989, and deeply inspired by the music of Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno and Michael Brook, own compositions were created. The first electronic ambient album "Submerging" was released on Musique Intemporelle in 1992. Fascinated by the technology and combination of musical equipment, own designs and constructions of special recording environments were realized. Collaborations with ambient artist Amir Baghiri followed on 2 cd projects released on Arya-Amplexus, 2001 and Neuronium Records in 2002. | ” |
| “ | The release of the seventh Enigma album “Seven Lives Many Faces” in September 2008 marked a new chapter in the 18-year history of the ground-breaking musical project created by Michael Cretu. | ” |
