Comment: this is another issue in the series of Tales Of Space Exploration by an
artist, Drew Miller aka Brother Saturn who continues to explore the ongoing themes
of travel, desolation, home and loneliness. However, musically it is startling
of how music could be so enthrallingly epic and beautiful that one could not
find proper words to describe it for. At least I have some problems to deal with
it. More profoundly, its beauty seems to be extended to the point where most of
the whole`s chords chime in a minimal, and thereafter abstract way. Lower
chords of the guitar are variegated with higher, more theme-leading, majestic
ones by an electronic keyboard which in turn consist of light repetitions, slowed down progressions and
lone accessory chords. For instance, by listening to I`ve Never Felt This Before chimes like a revelation being pristine
and picturesque at the same time. At the time when the winter still continues
to show its features while being slightly weakened by some sublime threads of
the spring it sounds like an example of seasonal music. By its intimate yet
cohesive construction it reminds me slightly of Pan American`s opus Quiet City (2004, Kranky), and
Labradford`s music in general. In spite of clocking in at a 82 minute one could
not find tired of it at all. Furthermore, thereafter you are very ready to find
out Drew Miller`s previous issues, especially those of being a part of the
aforesaid series. At the moment it is my most favourite issue being released in
2016 so far. The issue is a part of the discography of We Are All Ghosts.
