VoLt - Three Albums ~ The Far Canal, Star Compass, Through The Rings

I personally discovered VoLt by chance about two years ago when sharing files, especially Tangerine Dream music, with other internet friends. The first time I heard their music, I was gripped. I listened to their CDs again and again. Here you will not find a simply computerized and synthesized composition... there are the highs and lows of musical rhythms and swirls of space music which go beyond the ordinary or the flimsy.

VoLt, or really the British duo Michael Shipway and Steve Smith offer on this CD some of the finest music from the disciples of the School of Berlin. These albums were released in the period 2003-2005 and all consist of somewhat long tracks. It is a wonderful electronic mix, somewhat calmer than what originally came out of the School of Berlin. If you like Tangerine Dream, you will like VoLt, in my opinion!
