PSICODREAMICS: "THE GARDEN"
ABIRD: "SKYLINE 001" Vaso Music

CYBER ZEN SOUND ENGINE / MATT BORGHI:
"THE INTERCEPTED TRANSMISSIONS"
N-Light-N Records
This is an album that could be labelled within the genre of Space Music with Ambient touches, ethereal melodies, at times disquieting, and whose special sound effects may remind us of a space voyage to unknown regions of a strange universe, be it a real or an imaginary one.

CRAIG PADILLA:
"VOSTOK"
Spotted Peccary Music
In this album, Craig Padilla has sculpted music inspired by the mysterious depths of the lake Vostok, hidden beneath Antarctica. The music flows, evolving, never losing its intrinsic beauty, deep, hypnotic, with electronic undercurrents that lead to atmospheres full of a soft energy, at times with dark brushes.

RICHARD BONE:
"DISORIENT"
Quirkworks Laboratory Discs
In this album, the artist presents a wide range of sounds from all over the world, where pop traits are intertwined with World Music melodies in a very successful way. They are pieces of a complex conception, yet at the same time they are easy to listen to. There are themes which could be defined as a fusion of New Instrumental Music and Jazz, with elements typical of Ambient A certain nostalgic air is present in some melodic passages.

OOPHOI:
"ATHLIT"
Hypnos
Dark atmospheres, crepuscular metallic textures and disquieting whispers compose a landscape of eerie colors. Much of the music is icy, ghostly, static. The synthesizers shape a dense tapestry that immerse the listener within a magical world where time ceases to exist.

SARA AYERS: "INTERIORS" Dark Wood Recordings
In this new album, Sara Ayers offers us ten suggestive tracks evoking thought, emotion and memory, in what the artist defines as a non-linear music. Dark passages give way to brilliant soundscapes, the familiar is intertwined with the mysterious, calm and frenzy seem to pursue one another, and all that creates some sort of reflecting universe that leads us to feel rather than hear the music this versatile artist offers us. No doubt this is an album we should include in our collection.
MARLA ANDERSON

TALES: "THE SESKIAN WARS" Somewhere in time Records
Conceived as the ideal soundtrack for the epic narrative contained in the cover, this album includes eight tracks of eminently wondrous Space Music. The opening theme, "Sagitarius Gate", makes a masterful use of sequencers, reminding the listener of the best tradition of Tangerine Dream, and flows naturally towards the following soundscapes. The composer develops each piece with an absolute mastery of electronic technology thus resulting in an exciting galactic saga that will no doubt delight the followers of the science fiction genre.
DREXA NICHOLS

BRANNAN LANE: "TO EARTH AND BACK" SpaceFor Music.com Records
Flowing through Space Music, Ambient and Atmospheric Music, in this occasion, veteran composer Brannan Lane offers us six wonderful tracks once again reflecting the versatility of this artist in what turns out to be two themes, the first giving its name to the Cd in four parts, and the second, "Boundless", consisting of two parts. With an obvious mastery of electronic technology, Lane paints convincing soundscapes that lead the listener to let imagination fly freely through the musical universe this expert composer suggests.
MONICA ANDRADES

JAMES JOHNSON and ROBERT SCOTT THOMPSON: "FORGOTTEN PLACES" Zero Music / Acourant Records
The ten themes in this Cd flow through Ambient soundscapes, Space Music and atmospheric universes, thus resulting in a relaxing album that takes the listener through different, suggestive sonic ambiences, in some occasions almost ethereal, with acoustic piano touches
intertwined with the purely electronic. This album will no doubt appeal the followers of these musical genres.
