The Story

Quantec takes you deep into the ethereal regions of space on a journey of the mind. Hypnotic sounds suspend you motionless high above the mystic moon and down deep into the unknown. The sounds weave and evolve in an meditative way from drones to percussive soundscapes and carry you away through a timeless space. Atmospheric noise becomes a perfect stranger helping you navigate through the abyss and ending the journey at the dawn of a new day.

Reviews

"I'll start off this review by saying that I believe this is Quantec's best work since his wonderful Quietus release - without a shadow of a doubt in fact. It's good to hear him putting out this layered, atmospheric and predominantly ambient kind of sound and I really think it suits the style of his music as well as being perfect for the label. That's not to say it doesn't have beats, of course, because it does, but they're in that low-key, unobtrusive style that allows you to just get on with the serious business of feeling the sounds and enjoying the space and form. One thing that's quite clear from the outset is that this is a deeply hypnotic set of tracks and there's a distinct split between ambient flow, a lightly drone-esque feel and then those trademark 4/4 sections.
If you check out the samples you'll hear it immediately - you'll be taken in and enveloped in a single chord which resonates serenely before being gently nudged by an insistent pulsating rhythm in the next track. The overall feel is of darkness and melancholy which is exactly the way I like it and even though it has an expansive texture I'll stress that at all times there's room all over the place for the sound design to shine through. There are highlights, naturally, and they come in the shape of the haunting, disembodied voice in 'The Unknown' which is beautifully spooky when combined with the chord and static that accompanies it. The seemingly static groove of 'Depth Of Immersion' is another as it rolls along dreamily with more reverb than is probably legally allowed in a track like this - talk about echoes! And the final track 'Atmospheric Noise' is just straight-up a killer slice of thoughtful minimalism par excellence. But as ever with this kind of music it's about the whole journey rather than the individual moment - you'll find your favourite bits, I'm sure, but it all gels together into yet another wonderful album of the highest calibre. Mastered by Relapxych.0 and strictly limited to 100 copies, this is *definitely* not one to miss out on."
