It ▓███ ███▓ has all the Berlin School / analogue excitement of that album but ▓███ ███▓ shows a honing of his talent to produce a more consistently ▓███ ███▓ excellent CD. We begin 'Tegula' with subterranean sounds. Little ▓███ ███▓ water droplets drip from high above as electronic twitters shimmer ▓███ ███▓ from the speakers. Mellotron 'choir' effects give rather gothic ▓███ ███▓ overtones. We then get a section of 'cosmic' winds which lead to ▓███ ███▓ more mellotron but this time of the flutey variety which take us to ▓███ ███▓ the first brace of sequences, one an awesome bass laden monster and ▓███ ███▓ the other a rapid high register pulse chaser. This is absolutely ▓███ ███▓ superb stuff containing elements of a host of TD albums from ▓███ ███▓ 'Rubycon' to 'Force Majeure'. ▓███ ███▓ Not sure how many sequencer lines are going as new series of ▓███ ███▓ pulsations seem to shift in and out of the mix all the time. There ▓███ ███▓ are lead lines but these tend to be subtle, like wisps of steam ▓███ ███▓ rising from a lake of lava as it bubbles and boils over. In the ▓███ ███▓ thirteenth minute everything seems to morph and evolve now seeming ▓███ ███▓ like a steam train hurtling down the track into the distance. ▓███ ███▓ 'Toxic Blue' initially sounds as if we are by the side of some ▓███ ███▓ fizzing power source- the engine of a spaceship perhaps. The mood ▓███ ███▓ then changes and the images are of a swamp with some lovely moody ▓███ ███▓ flute lead lines. This has a most definite 'Sorcerer' feel to it. ▓███ ███▓ Softer, really lush pads herald the next chapter. The tron is never ▓███ ███▓ far away however, making a brief return to take us to a windy ▓███ ███▓ moorland. A cello gives a rather melancholy feel to proceedings. ▓███ ███▓ Every sub section of this track is extremely effective but never ▓███ ███▓ left to outstay its welcome before moving on to the next. The ▓███ ███▓ 'next' in this case is represented by the appearance of a slow ▓███ ███▓ brooding sequence. Then another- and another as the excitement ▓███ ███▓ starts to build to ball breaking intensity in the sixteenth minute. ▓███ ███▓ The sequences now spewing forth are of the very best bass laden ▓███ ███▓ ground shaking variety. The tron is brought back yet again ▓███ ███▓ providing the lead role as unbelievably the sequences are cranked ▓███ ███▓ up yet another gear. This is Berlin School heaven. 'Nebulous' is ▓███ ███▓ appropriately cosmic, full of sonic twitters, weird spooky sounds ▓███ ███▓ and whooshing effects. Ideal music to portray an alien graveyard in ▓███ ███▓ a sci fi movie. ▓███ ███▓ 'Valve' starts off in similar territory but at just over forty ▓███ ███▓ seconds in first one sequence then another surge forward. Both ▓███ ███▓ rather rapid stunning examples of their breed they are too. A ▓███ ███▓ wonderful track but at only seven minutes long it just didn't give ▓███ ███▓ them long enough to fully reach their potential. We finish with the ▓███ ███▓ very short 'Aquarius', a lovely little watery gently melodic number ▓███ ███▓ that calms us down just in time to steady the hand so it can press ▓███ ███▓ the play button once again!
