Comment: this batch of 11 compositions is a blissful view through slow progressions on analogue synths which provide extended hyper-realistic harmony developments being at the same time majestic and incisive as if getting a glimpse into an enchanting ideal world. On the other side, there are also represented intriguing beats by providing obsessive frequencies and spellbinding iterations. Thirdly, the author's intention seems to be creating profound patterns based on clear crystallised and crystalline sounds. The listener's view is not blurred any of the sounds can be clearly distinguished from one another yet the total sum of all these sounds is remarkably bigger than the initial sum of the sounds. One of the cases is the sum of cooperative sounds and patterns yet on the other side one can perceive warmth and coolness oozing out of it. Additionally, as we know warmth and coolness are related to certain sorts of colours. Its precise nature and downright logic seem to represent a sonic embodiment of mathematics. Yet behind it there is up an insinuating element to accomplish the whole. It reminds of the approach of such artists as M Geddes Gengras, Steve Hauschildt. This is an outing which probably will be added to lists of the best albums in 2019. At least to the best list at RMH. It is a bit in the discography of Serein.
